Choi Kang-rok's Fig Jeyuk Deopbap

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• After grating the ginger, chopping it further with a knife breaks down the tough fibers, resulting in a much smoother texture.
• As the figs reduce, they neutralize the strong saltiness of the soy sauce and add a cushion of deep flavor to the sauce.
• To prevent the pork from becoming tough, do not overcook the blanched pork belly in the sauce; stir-fry quickly just until it's coated.
• The dish itself is quite flavorful, so it's essential to serve it with warm white rice to achieve a balanced taste.
