Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 3 king oyster mushrooms. Cut them in half lengthwise, then slice thinly about 0.5 cm thick. This ensures the sauce penetrates well for a delicious flavor.
Step 2
Now, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the 400g of pork shoulder and stir-fry until the surface is lightly browned. This step helps to remove any gamey odor from the pork.
Step 3
When the pork is almost cooked, add 1/2 sliced onion. Prepare the green onion by separating the white and green parts; thinly slice the white part diagonally and add it to the pan along with 1 tablespoon of minced garlic for a fragrant aroma. Stir-fry the aromatics and pork evenly.
Step 4
Add the prepared king oyster mushrooms and stir-fry with the pork and onions until combined. It’s best to lightly stir-fry the mushrooms to retain their pleasant chewiness.
Step 5
Now, add 100g of tteokbokki rice cakes for a chewy texture. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice cakes from sticking to the pan while stir-frying.
Step 6
It’s time! For the sauce that defines the taste of Jeyuk Bokkeum, mix 2.5 Tbsp gochugaru, 4 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp gochujang, 3 Tbsp cheongju, 1 Tbsp maesil cheong, 1/2 Tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 Tbsp sesame oil in a bowl. Pour the prepared sauce evenly into the pan.
Step 7
Stir-fry everything together quickly to coat the ingredients evenly with the sauce. Be mindful of the heat to prevent the sauce from burning.
Step 8
Finally, add 2 diagonally sliced cheongyang peppers for a spicy kick and the green parts of the green onion, stir-frying briefly. High heat and quick stir-frying will maintain the crisp texture of the vegetables. Enjoy your delicious Pork Shoulder Jeyuk Bokkeum!
