Cooking tips 💡

  • It is best to remove the skin from the pork shoulder as it can be unpleasant when eating the noodles.
  • Using a mix of fine and coarse perilla seed powder helps achieve both thickness and a savory texture in the broth.
  • Mixing store-bought and country-style doenjang in a 2:1 ratio brings out a deep, clean umami flavor.
