Cooking tips
- Never use frozen pork belly straight from the freezer—handling it when hard and brittle can cause it to break. Let it thaw at room temperature until soft before cooking.
- Lightly coating the pork surface with soju just before steaming helps carry away the pork’s natural aroma as steam rises, leaving a clean, fresh taste.
- Whole sesame seeds should be ground completely until smooth—adding them unground will result in uneven texture and floating particles. Proper grinding ensures the rich, nutty flavor blends seamlessly with the sharp mustard bite.
Recommended for
- Those who prefer lighter, less greasy meat dishes instead of grilled pork belly due to concerns about excessive oiliness.
- People who enjoy the healthful, medicinal-like texture of fragrant perilla and crisp burdock root paired with savory meat in a balanced, nourishing meal.
