Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Pork shoulder has little fat and can become dry if overcooked, so use plenty of water-rich cabbage to maintain juiciness.
  • The natural sweetness and moisture of the vegetables help balance the strong saltiness of the soybean paste, so increasing the vegetable ratio enhances flavor harmony.
  • You can also substitute pork shoulder with fatty cuts like ribeye or front shoulder, marinating them for about half a day before cooking for excellent results.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a new, less spicy alternative to spicy gochujang-based pork stir-fry with a deep, savory taste.
  • Home cooks who want to prepare affordable pork shoulder without it turning dry, achieving a luxurious, moist texture instead.
