Ttukdak Hyung's Front Leg Pork Bossam and Radish Kimchi

Instead of pork belly, steam front leg meat for grilling with soju only, and serve with radish kimchi that has a crunchy texture thanks to oligosaccharide. An ultra-simple bossam.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Marinating radish in oligosaccharide instead of salt draws out moisture via osmosis, maximizing the crunchy, chewy texture characteristic of bossam specialty restaurants.
  • For the boiled pork, choose front leg meat for grilling — it has a good balance of lean meat and fat, so it's not dry and is more economical than expensive, fatty pork belly.
  • If the meat is fresh, you don't need complicated ingredients like doenjang or coffee. Just add soju and heat; it will cleanly remove any odors.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy an affordable and hearty meat party at home instead of expensive delivery bossam.
  • Those who want to recreate the sweet, crunchy radish kimchi taste from bossam restaurants.
  • Those who want to make moist steamed pork without boiling, simply removing odors with soju.
