Instructions

9 steps
  1. 1

    Drain the 300 g blanched siraegi lightly and cut it into 4 cm lengths.

  2. 2

    Mix it with 1 tablespoon doenjang, half the garlic, and 1 tablespoon perilla oil, rubbing gently so the seasoning reaches the fibers.

  3. 3

    Cut the 280 g pork shoulder into bite-size pieces and place it in the pot.

  4. 4

    Stir-fry over medium heat for about 3 minutes, until the outside turns opaque and a little pork fat begins to render.

  5. 5

    Add the seasoned siraegi and keep the heat at medium for 4 more minutes.

    Stir often so the doenjang does not stick to the bottom, and cook until the greens smell nutty and savory.

  6. 6

    Add 1700 ml water, the remaining garlic, 1 tablespoon gochugaru, and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon doenjang.

    When it comes to a boil, skim off foam and reduce to medium-low heat.

  7. 7

    Simmer slowly over medium-low heat for 30 minutes.

    The broth should deepen to a reddish brown, the siraegi should chew softly, and the pork should separate easily when pressed with chopsticks.

  8. 8

    Season with 1 tablespoon soup soy sauce, add 50g green onion, and simmer for 3 more minutes.

  9. 9

    Taste the broth, turn off the heat, and serve hot.
