Main Ingredients
- 400g Pork Shoulder/Leg, thinly sliced
- 1 Bell Pepper (using different colors adds appeal)
- A small bunch of Scallions, finely chopped
Seasoning Ingredients
- 2.5 Tbsp Miso Paste (Japanese fermented soybean paste)
- 2 Tbsp Sake (cooking wine)
- 0.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 2.5 Tbsp Miso Paste (Japanese fermented soybean paste)
- 2 Tbsp Sake (cooking wine)
- 0.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently press the pork shoulder/leg slices with paper towels to remove excess blood. This helps reduce any gamey odor and results in a cleaner taste. Prepare the bell pepper by removing the seeds and slicing it thinly into strips. Using colorful bell peppers will make the finished dish look even more appealing.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious marinade! In a bowl, combine 2.5 tablespoons of miso paste, 2 tablespoons of sake, 0.5 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir well with a spoon until the sugar and miso paste are smoothly dissolved without any lumps. The key is to achieve a harmonious balance between the saltiness of the miso and the sweetness of the sugar.
Step 3
Lightly grease a preheated pan with a small amount of cooking oil. You don’t need a lot of oil, as the miso marinade can stick to the pan. Add the prepared pork slices to the pan and stir-fry over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the meat from sticking and to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Once the pork is about 70-80% cooked and has taken on a tempting color, add the sliced bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry together. Bell peppers can become mushy if overcooked, so stir-frying them briefly with the pork will help retain their crisp texture.
Step 5
Now, pour in all the prepared miso marinade and stir-fry quickly over high heat. It’s important to stir-fry until the marinade is evenly coated on the meat and vegetables and has thickened slightly. You’ll start to smell the wonderful aroma!
Step 6
Finally, add the finely chopped scallions, sprinkle them generously, and give it a quick mix to complete your delicious Miso Pork Bulgogi! The fresh aroma of the scallions will add another layer of flavor.
Step 7
This pork bulgogi is truly captivating, with the deep, savory notes and saltiness of miso paste complemented by a subtle sweetness. It boasts a flavor profile entirely different from typical pork bulgogi, offering a unique and unforgettable culinary experience.
Step 8
This pork bulgogi isn’t spicy, making it a great dish for children to enjoy without any worries. Furthermore, thanks to the rich umami from the miso paste, it serves as an excellent side dish for rice and also pairs wonderfully as a sophisticated accompaniment to beer or soju!
