Recipe

Shred the thoroughly boiled pork hind leg along the grain or slice it into bite-sized pieces.
Place the sliced pork and 2 cups of water in a pot.
Add 3 tbsp Jin-ganjang, 3 tbsp sugar, 0.5 tbsp beef dasida, and 1 pinch Miwon, then mix well.
Turn on the heat to high. Once it starts boiling, simmer for about 3–5 minutes until the seasoning reduces and coats the meat well.
Turn off the heat, drizzle a little sesame oil for aroma, and mix evenly to finish.

Cut the boiled pork into bite-sized pieces.
Put the meat, water, soy sauce, sugar, dasida, and Miwon in a pot and simmer for 5 minutes.
Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil.

Cooking tips

Since the meat is already cooked, you only need to simmer briefly until the seasoning is absorbed to keep it tender.
Even when eaten cold after refrigeration, the seasoning doesn't separate, making it great as a rice side dish or lunchbox item.
For more variety, you can add kkwarigochu or shelled quail eggs and simmer together.
