Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not use tomato ketchup—it has a strong sourness that disrupts the balance of the dish; only tomato spaghetti sauce will deliver a smooth, rich umami flavor.
  • When marinating the pork, press down lightly to help the marinade penetrate evenly into the meat.
  • Sautéing the green onion first to extract ample green onion oil before adding the pork enhances the dish’s subtle aroma and overall depth of flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to break away from the familiar taste of jeyuk bokkeum and experience something unique and deeply flavorful.
  • Those wanting to prepare affordable shoulder or leg pork without any off-flavors, resulting in a tender and refined dish.
  • Fans of a spicy-sweet main course where the fragrance of green onion oil blends perfectly with a custom-made seasoning.
