Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The first step to any great dish is preparing your ingredients meticulously. For the marinade, you’ll need about 1/3 of a scallion. Wash it thoroughly. Finely chopping this scallion and adding it to the sauce will significantly enhance its flavor profile.
Step 2
Finely mince the prepared scallion with a knife. The smaller the pieces, the better the marinade will adhere to the meat and the more enjoyable the texture will be when eaten.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to create the magic marinade sauce! In a wide bowl, combine 1 Tbsp sugar, 4 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp corn syrup, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 pinch ginger powder, 1 Tbsp cooking wine, 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce, a pinch of black pepper, 1 Tbsp of the finely chopped scallion, and 1/3 cup (approx. 60ml) of water. Stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved and there are no lumps. Your perfectly balanced sauce is ready!
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium heat and add the pork neck slices. Sear both sides until they are golden brown. Be careful to avoid excessive oil splattering. Cook just until the surface of the meat is lightly browned.
Step 5
Before the pork neck is fully cooked, when both sides have a nice golden color, pour the prepared soy sauce marinade evenly over the meat. If you purchased a whole piece of pork neck, let it simmer in the sauce for about 30 seconds, then reduce the heat to very low and cut the meat into bite-sized pieces. If you cut the meat over high heat, the sauce’s moisture can evaporate instantly, causing the marinade to burn. Therefore, it’s crucial to lower the heat before cutting or cut the meat beforehand if using pre-cut pieces.
Step 6
After cutting the meat, turn the heat back up to high. Continuously stir with a spatula or spoon, ensuring the meat and sauce blend well and the sauce thickens, coating the meat beautifully. Once the sauce clings to the meat and has a glossy sheen, your delicious pork neck bulgogi is ready.
Step 7
Serve this tender pork neck bulgogi with soy sauce glaze over warm rice for an incredibly delicious meal. Enjoy your perfectly cooked dish!
