Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a pot for boiling the pork, combine 400ml of water and 260ml of soy sauce. Add all 15 individual cups of plain yogurt. Stir to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 2
Once the liquid in the pot begins to boil, carefully add the whole 1.2kg piece of pork. Ensure the meat is submerged in the liquid.
Step 3
While the pork is boiling, skim off any foam that rises to the surface using a spoon. This helps to create a clean broth and remove any unwanted odors. After skimming, reduce the heat to medium and cover the pot. Let it simmer gently for about 40 minutes.
Step 4
While the pork is cooking, let’s prepare the special ssamjang. Finely mince 1/4 onion and 1/2 green onion. In a bowl, combine the minced onion and green onion with 1.5 parts doenjang, 1 part gochujang, a little minced garlic, and a little sesame oil. Mix well until evenly combined. Finish by adding a little toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor.
Step 5
To check if the pork is fully cooked, insert a chopstick into the meat. If no red liquid comes out, it is done. If red liquid appears, continue boiling for a bit longer. Flip the meat occasionally during cooking to ensure even doneness.
Step 6
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the pot and slice it into bite-sized pieces. Slicing them not too thick will result in a better texture. Arrange the slices attractively on a serving plate.
Step 7
Finally, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds over the sliced pork to finish. This Lee Chan-won’s yogurt boiled pork, served with the homemade special ssamjang, is ready to be enjoyed. It looks as good as it tastes!
