Okjubu's Naengi Jeyuk Bokkeum

A rich and flavorful stir-fried pork dish with a generous topping of fragrant spring shepherd's purse, pan-fried until dry and deeply seasoned.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want a special meat dish with spring aromas instead of the usual jeyuk bokkeum.
  • Those who prefer a dry, richly coated jeyuk bokkeum where the seasoning sticks firmly to the meat rather than pooling.

Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings

  • pork shoulder or leg 600g
  • shepherd's purse a handful
  • onion 1/2
  • scallion 1/2 stalk
  • soy sauce 4 tbsp
  • gochujang 1 tbsp
  • mirin 3 tbsp
  • corn syrup 2 tbsp
  • gochugaru 3 tbsp (1 for marinade, 2 for finish)
  • sugar 2 tbsp
  • minced garlic 1 tbsp
  • beef dasida 0.5 tbsp
  • MSG a pinch
  • ginger syrup (or ginger juice) a pinch (optional)
  • water a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. Mix 4 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp gochujang, 3 tbsp mirin, 2 tbsp corn syrup, 1 tbsp gochugaru, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 0.5 tbsp beef dasida, a pinch of MSG, and a pinch of ginger syrup to make the seasoning sauce.
  2. In a pan, combine the pork and the prepared seasoning sauce, toss to coat, then turn on the heat.
  3. Since the gochujang-based seasoning can burn easily, add a small amount of water along with sliced onion and stir-fry. The moisture from the onion helps soften the meat.
  4. When the pork is cooked through with no pink remaining, add the cleaned shepherd's purse all at once and lightly toss to infuse its fragrance.
  5. Add chopped scallion and sprinkle an additional 2 tbsp of gochugaru evenly over the meat for a spicy kick and a drier texture.
  6. Once the liquid has evaporated and the seasoning clings thickly and sticky to the meat, turn off the heat and serve.
  1. Combine soy sauce, gochujang, mirin, corn syrup, gochugaru, sugar, garlic, and seasonings to create the seasoning sauce.
  2. In a pan, stir-fry the seasoned pork with sliced onion and a little water to prevent burning.
  3. When the pork is cooked, add the cleaned shepherd's purse for its aromatic flavor.
  4. Top with scallion and the remaining 2 tbsp of gochugaru, then simmer until the moisture evaporates and the dish becomes dry and sticky.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Okjubu's tip: Adding a little water at the start prevents the gochujang-based seasoning from sticking or burning on the pan bottom.
  • The additional 2 tbsp of gochugaru at the end absorbs moisture from the meat and vegetables, helping the seasoning cling tightly without running off.
  • Adding a small amount of ginger syrup or ginger juice effectively removes any pork odor and enhances the overall flavor.
