- 2 tablespoons rice syrup or honey, 30 milliliters
- 2 tablespoons rice wine 30 milliliters
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce 15 milliliters
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil 15 milliliters
- 1/2 onion peeled and minced, small
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 pound pork neck cut into 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick slices, or shoulder, 450 grams
Garlic Chives:
- 4 ounces garlic chives cut into 3 inch (7.5 cm) pieces, 110 grams
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- sesame seeds optional, ground, toasted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the doenjang, rice syrup, rice wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, onion, garlic, ginger, and pepper. Add the pork, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
