Cooking tips

  • Adding generous amounts of cooking wine or soju when initially boiling the pork eliminates off-flavors and results in exceptionally tender meat without toughness.
  • Avoid using ground black pepper, as it makes the broth cloudy and unclean; always use whole peppercorns for a clear, refined infusion.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the sugar to 6 tablespoons during seasoning.
  • Do not reduce the broth too much—leaving some liquid ensures the pork stays moist and juicy during storage.

Recommended for

  • Those who want tender, pull-apart pork jangjorim that’s neither dry nor tough.
  • People looking to make a large batch of premium, long-lasting side dishes for daily meals throughout the week.
