Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the pork shoulder into 3 large pieces, roughly rib-shaped.
  2. Place the meat, beer, whole black peppercorns, and sugar in a pot. Boil for exactly 5 minutes to remove any gamey smell.
  3. After 5 minutes, rinse the boiled meat thoroughly under cold water to clean off impurities.
  4. In a blender, combine water, Cheongyang chili peppers, radish, and onion. Blend finely, then strain through a sieve to obtain clear vegetable juice.
  5. Mix the strained juice with soy sauce, mirin, gochugaru, sugar, minced garlic, gochujang, Dasida, black pepper, and Mi Won to make the seasoning sauce. Add minced ginger if desired.
  6. Add the cleaned meat, potatoes cut into bite-size pieces, carrots, green onions, enoki mushrooms, and king oyster mushrooms to the seasoning sauce.
  7. Boil until the vegetables are fully cooked and the meat is thoroughly infused with the spicy seasoning. Serve.
  1. Cut pork shoulder into large pieces, boil with beer and whole black peppercorns for 5 minutes, then rinse.
  2. Blend Cheongyang chili peppers, radish, and onion with water, strain, then mix with seasonings to make the vegetable broth sauce.
  3. Add meat and vegetables to the sauce and simmer until vegetables are fully cooked.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If the meat is very fresh, you can skip the initial 5-minute boiling step.
  • If you have a high-performance blender that grinds the vegetables very finely, you can skip the straining step.
  • Minced ginger helps eliminate any gamey smell from the meat, but the dish is still delicious without it.
