Seungwoo Dad's Doenjang Pork Jowl Bulgogi

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Thick cuts of meat need to be flipped often to prevent burning on the outside and ensure even cooking throughout.
• Doenjang sauce, with its high sugar content, can burn easily over high heat. It's best to toss the meat quickly in the sauce over residual heat or low heat after it's perfectly grilled for a clean flavor.
• Soaking onions in cold water not only removes their pungent compounds but also allows the cells to absorb water, making them much crispier when bitten into.
• The saltiness of doenjang varies by brand. Taste the sauce after mixing and adjust by adding a little water if it's too salty, or a bit more oligosaccharide if it's not sweet enough. This is the surest way to avoid mistakes.
