Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Ginger is essential and must be used generously, as it removes any off-flavors and adds a deep sweetness to the sauce.
  • Using Chinese dark soy sauce (dark soy sauce) easily gives the dish its characteristic deep color and subtle sweetness; if unavailable, substitute with Jin-ganjang.
  • Check the heat occasionally to prevent the pork from sticking to the bottom of the pot, and add a little water if needed while braising.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try making restaurant-quality Chinese cuisine at home.
  • Those who love tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork dishes like dongpoyuk.
  • Those looking for a main dish to serve guests on special occasions.
