3 tbsp doenjang

1 tbsp Miwon

1 tbsp cheongju (optional)

Recipe

Pour 2L of water into a pot and evenly dissolve 3 tbsp doenjang, 1 tbsp Miwon, and 1 tbsp cheongju.
When the water comes to a rolling boil, add 600g pork belly with skin to the pot.
Simmer over medium heat with the lid open for about 45 minutes.
Check that the thickest part is fully cooked, then remove the meat.
Cover to prevent the surface from drying out, let it cool slightly, then slice to a desirable thickness.

Dissolve doenjang, Miwon, and cheongju in water and bring to a rolling boil.
Add the pork belly with skin and simmer over medium heat with the lid open for 45 minutes.
Wrap the removed meat in plastic wrap, let it cool slightly, then slice.

Cooking tips

Keep the lid open when simmering the meat so that any off-odors escape with the steam, resulting in a clean taste.
Covering the meat with plastic wrap or a lid immediately after removing it prevents moisture loss and keeps the texture moist for longer.
Slicing the meat to about 11–12g (approximately 5–7mm thick) achieves the best balance of chewiness and tenderness.

Recommended for
