🛒 Ingredient Tips
Thinly sliced pork belly (대패삼겹살) has the advantage of a short cooking time due to its thin cut.
When purchasing, choose meat with a vibrant red color and white fat for freshness and good taste.
For onions, select ones with firm, glossy skin that feel heavy.
For large green onions, look for clear, firm green leaves and white stalks.
For butterhead lettuce, choose fresh, crisp leaves that are not wilted to best enjoy them as ssam (쌈 - lettuce wraps).
🔄 Substitution Guide
Instead of thinly sliced pork belly (대패삼겹살), you can use thinly sliced pork neck or pork shoulder.
However, cooking time may be longer if the meat is thicker, so adjust accordingly.
The texture might also be chewier than with thinly sliced pork belly.
If you don't have gochujang (고추장), you can increase the amount of gochugaru (고춧가루) and add about 0.5 tbsp of doenjang (된장 - Korean fermented soybean paste) for extra umami.
Note that adding doenjang will alter the flavor profile.
For ssam (쌈 - lettuce wraps), feel free to use your favorite leafy greens like regular lettuce, perilla leaves (깻잎 - kkaennip), or chicory instead of butterhead lettuce.
Each vegetable offers a unique aroma and texture for a different culinary experience.
🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
The key to this Jeyuk-bokkeum (제육볶음) lies in 'heat control' and 'cooking time'.
First, add the thinly sliced pork belly (대패삼겹살) to a preheated pan and stir-fry quickly over high heat to prevent the meat from becoming tough and to achieve that distinct smoky flavor.
Stir-fry until the meat is about halfway cooked.
Second, after adding the seasoning, reduce the heat to low to prevent the sauce from burning and to allow it to be well absorbed by the meat.
It's important to stir continuously to prevent burning.
Third, the crucial point is to add the vegetables when the meat is about halfway cooked.
Adding them too early can make them mushy, while adding them too late can result in a loss of their crisp texture.
Try to complete all cooking within approximately 15 minutes.
👨🍳 Directions
Cut 1/2 large onion into large, bite-sized pieces and slice 1 large green onion into large pieces to prepare the vegetables.
In a preheated pan, add 1.1 lb (500g) of thinly sliced pork belly (대패삼겹살) and stir-fry quickly over high heat until about halfway cooked.
Reduce the heat to low. Add 2 tbsp mirin (맛술), 1 tbsp oligosaccharide syrup, 2 tbsp gochugaru (고춧가루), 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp gochujang (고추장), 0.5 tbsp sugar, and black pepper to taste. Stir and cook until the sauce is well incorporated into the meat.
Add the sliced onion and large green onion. Stir-fry for about 15 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
Transfer the finished Jeyuk-bokkeum (제육볶음) to a plate, drizzle with sesame oil, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve with butterhead lettuce and enjoy.
