Pork shoulder is marinated in gochujang and gochugaru, then seared quickly so the edges caramelize while the inside stays moist and tender. Shredded cabbage and onion provide a crisp contrast to the sauced pork, and soy sauce with sugar balances the heat with savory sweetness. The temperature contrast between chilled somyeon noodles and hot, sizzling pork creates a distinctive eating experience that is one of the dish's defining pleasures. Keeping the noodles and the pork separate until the moment of serving prevents the somyeon from absorbing moisture and going soft. A final drizzle of sesame oil adds a nutty send-off.
