Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings
- pork shoulder 600g
- potato 1 piece
- carrot 1/2 piece
- green chili peppers 2~3 pieces
- scallion 1 stalk
- water 3 cups
- gochujang 2 tablespoons
- soy sauce 2 tablespoons
- red chili powder 2 tablespoons
- sugar 1 tablespoon
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon
- chicken stock 1 tablespoon
- sesame seeds a little
Recipe 🍳
- Cut the pork shoulder into thick, bite-sized pieces and place them generously in a pot or deep pan.
- Peel the potato and carrot thoroughly, then cut them into large, mouth-sized chunks, similar to how they're prepared in ribs stew.
- In a bowl, combine gochujang 2 tablespoons, soy sauce 2 tablespoons, red chili powder 2 tablespoons, sugar 1 tablespoon, minced garlic 1 tablespoon, and chicken stock 1 tablespoon. Mix well to make the seasoning paste.
- Pour the seasoning paste and 3 cups of water into the pot with the pork. Gently stir to mix the seasonings, then simmer over high heat for about 20 minutes until the liquid reduces significantly.
- Once the broth has reduced to about half, add the prepared potato and carrot, and slice in green chili peppers to enhance the spiciness.
- Continue simmering until the potato and carrot are fully cooked and the desired broth consistency is reached. Avoid stirring too much to prevent vegetables from breaking apart.
- Turn off the heat when the broth becomes thick and all ingredients are fully cooked.
- Chop the green parts of the scallion finely and sprinkle on top. Generously garnish with sesame seeds.
- Cut pork into large pieces, and prepare potato and carrot into mouth-sized chunks.
- Place pork, seasoning paste, and water in a pot and simmer for 20 minutes to develop the broth.
- When the broth reduces, add potato, carrot, and green chili peppers, then simmer until vegetables are cooked through. Finish by sprinkling scallion and sesame seeds.
Cooking tips 💡
- The 1 tablespoon of chicken stock is key to building depth of flavor, so it's best not to skip it for a richer taste.
- After adding potato and carrot, avoid stirring frequently with a spatula—this can crush the vegetables and make the broth cloudy. Let it simmer undisturbed.
- For a texture closer to ribs stew, cut the pork shoulder into thicker pieces suitable for stews or curries rather than thin slices used for grilled dishes.
