Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice pork neck to 1.5cm thickness and score lightly so marinade penetrates well.

  2. 2

    Mix doenjang, soy sauce, rice syrup, garlic, sesame oil, ginger powder, and pepper into a marinade.

  3. 3

    Coat the pork evenly with marinade and rest for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Grill on a preheated pan over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, then sear the edges.

  5. 5

    Lower to medium heat, brush a thin layer of remaining marinade, and cook 2 more minutes for glaze.

  6. 6

    Top with sliced green onion, rest for 2 minutes, then slice and serve.

Tips

Because doenjang burns easily, apply the final glaze over lower heat.
Let the meat sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before grilling to reduce juice loss.
