Ingredients needed 🛒4 servings

  • minced pork shoulder 500g
  • shelled quail eggs 500g
  • cola 500ml (excluding zero-sugar cola)
  • water 1 cup
  • oyster sauce 3 tablespoons
  • light soy sauce 3 tablespoons
  • minced garlic 1 tablespoon
  • toasted sesame seeds a pinch

Recipe 🍳

  1. Remove all moisture from the shelled quail eggs by thoroughly rinsing them, then place them in a pot.
  2. Place the prepared 500g of minced pork shoulder directly on top of the quail eggs.
  3. Add 500ml of cola and 1 cup of water, then mix in 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 3 tablespoons of light soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic for seasoning.
  4. Heat over high flame until the broth begins to boil, then carefully skim off foam and impurities with a spoon.
  5. After removing the foam, reduce heat to low and simmer gently for about 30 minutes until the liquid thickens and becomes sticky.
  6. Turn off the heat once the seasoning is evenly distributed and the sauce has thickened, then sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to finish.
  1. Add the moisture-free quail eggs, minced pork, cola, water, and seasoning ingredients all at once into the pot.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat, remove impurities and foam, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
  3. Turn off the heat when the broth becomes thick and sticky, then sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Do not use zero-sugar or diet cola, as it will lack the characteristic sweetness, sheen, and viscosity needed for this dish.
  • Be thorough in removing foam that rises during initial cooking to ensure a clean, fresh taste without any off-flavors.
  • Serve the finished jangjorim and its sauce over rice, add a drizzle of sesame oil, and mix well for a delicious one-bowl meal.
