Recipe 🍳
- Mix 1 tablespoon cooking wine, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 3 tablespoons brewed soy sauce to make a basic bulgogi base sauce. Stir until the sugar dissolves, and warm it slightly if necessary.
- To the base sauce, add 2 tablespoons gochujang, 1 tablespoon gochugaru, and minced garlic and sesame oil to taste, and mix to complete the spicy jeyuk seasoning sauce.
- Thinly slice the Korean radish using a mandoline, then add 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 tablespoons gochugaru, and minced garlic, and toss to mix, making a radish salad (musaengchae).
- Julienne the green onion into thin strips to make scallion shreds (pachae), then mix with 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 0.5 tablespoon gochugaru, and sesame oil to complete the green onion salad (pajeol-i).
- Add a little cooking oil to a pan, place the pork shoulder cut into bite-size pieces, and sear over high heat until golden brown.
- Once the surface of the meat is cooked and enough pork fat has rendered, add the coarsely chopped onion and mushrooms and stir-fry together.
- When the ingredients are somewhat cooked, add the prepared jeyuk seasoning sauce, radish salad, and green onion salad all at once to the pan and stir-fry quickly over high heat.
- Once the green onion and radish salads have wilted slightly and the seasoning is evenly distributed, turn off the heat and transfer to a plate to serve.
- Make the jeyuk seasoning sauce with soy sauce, sugar, gochujang, etc., and separately mix the radish salad and green onion salad.
- Sear the pork shoulder to render the fat, then add the onion and mushrooms and stir-fry.
- Add the seasoning sauce, radish salad, and green onion salad, and stir-fry quickly over high heat to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Make sure the sugar fully dissolves in the bulgogi base sauce to prevent the seasoning from not adhering.
- Sear the thick pork shoulder until crispy to render enough fat, which enhances the flavor when the seasoning is added.
- Add the radish salad and green onion salad at the end and stir-fry briefly to maintain their crunchy texture.
