    Pat the surface dry with paper towels, then cut it into 2 or 3 large pieces.

  2. 2

    In a large pot, combine water, onion, green onion, garlic, ginger, soybean paste, black pepper, and coffee powder.

  3. 3

    Once the water comes to a rolling boil, add the prepared pork chunks.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook over medium heat for 40 to 50 minutes until the pork is tender and fully cooked.

    Check with a food thermometer that the center of the pork has reached at least 63°C.

    Turn off the heat and let it rest in the broth for 5 minutes.

Tips

Soybean paste and a small amount of coffee powder soften the pork aroma as it simmers.
Letting the cooked meat rest in the broth for 5 minutes keeps the juices inside, making it moister.
