Recipe

Add about 3 tablespoons of cooking oil to a pot. Place 600g of whole pork belly with the fat side facing down (toward the bottom of the pot) and fry it as if deep-frying.
Once the fat is golden brown, turn the pork belly and continue to sear all sides until evenly golden brown.
When all sides are nicely browned, pour in 500ml of cola and bring to a boil.
Once the cola boils, add 100ml of ssanghwatang and 50ml (1 soju glass) of Jin-ganjang and simmer to reduce. The ssanghwatang adds natural sweetness and a deep herbal aroma that infuses the meat, enhancing its flavor.
Add a piece of ginger and simmer together. Ginger is an excellent ingredient for removing any gamey odors from the pork.
Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat until the cola is almost completely reduced. Open the lid occasionally and be sure to turn the meat so the seasoning coats all sides evenly. If the heat is too high, the cola seasoning may reduce before the center of the meat is fully cooked, so it's important to simmer over medium heat.
When the cola is nearly reduced (just before the bottom of the pot becomes visible), remove the boiled pork, slice it into bite-sized pieces, and enjoy.

Add cooking oil to a pan and fry the whole pork belly until all sides are golden.
Add cola, ssanghwatang, and soy sauce to the seared pork belly along with ginger, and simmer over medium heat.
Cover and cook until the cola is almost reduced, then remove the meat and slice it into serving pieces.

Cooking tips

If the heat is too high, the cola seasoning may reduce before the center of the meat is fully cooked, so it's important to simmer over medium heat.
Open the lid occasionally and be sure to turn the meat so the seasoning coats all sides evenly.
