CHEF ILONA: JEYUK BOKKEUM
Stir frying the Bokkeum way
Exploring the cooking techniques found in Korean cuisine
What is bokkeum? It is the Korean method to cook food or food ingredients with little or a small amount of liquid by stir-frying over heat.
Origins
The origins of jeyuk (jeyuk is the Korean word for pork) bokkeum can be traced back to the Joseon Dynasty in Korea, which lasted from the late 14th century to the late 19th century. During this time, meat dishes were relatively rare in Korea due to Confucian dietary restrictions that encouraged vegetarianism. However, pork was more commonly consumed in Korea than other meats because pigs were easy to raise and provided a reliable source of protein.
The modern version of jeyuk bokkeum, as we know it today, likely began to take shape during the 20th century. With the introduction of chili peppers and other new ingredients, Korean cuisine started to evolve, incorporating spicier and more flavorful elements into traditional dishes.
All about that spice
Jeyuk bokkeum is usually made with a combination of gochujang and gochugaru.
Gochugaru is a coarsely ground Korean chili powder similar to crushed red pepper flakes in texture, traditionally made from sun-dried peppers without the seeds.
Gochujang or red chili paste is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented condiment popular in Korean cooking. It’s primary constituents are gochugaru, glutinous rice, and salt. The sweetness comes from the starch of cooked glutinous rice, cultured with saccharifying enzymes during the fermentation process.
Though the application of chilies in this dish comes two-fold, yet the dish isn’t nearly as spicy as you might think. And of course, you can always adjust the heat level to your taste. You can omit gochugaru if you like it less spicy or add more to make it spicier.
Why marinating matters
The technique of marinating meat in Korean cuisine, known as "bulgogi," dates back centuries. The term "bulgogi" means "fire meat," and it originally referred to beef dishes. Over time, this marinating and grilling technique was adapted for various meats, including pork, leading to the creation of “jeyuk bokkeum."
Jeyuk bokkeum gained popularity in South Korea as a delicious and affordable street food option. It's known for its spicy and savory flavors, making it a favorite among many Koreans. It can be found in restaurants and homes throughout South Korea
This dish can be served in ssam, lettuce wraps alongside other dishes, or it can be enjoyed with rice and some additional vegetables. If you happen to have some kimchi, this would be a great accoutrement to enjoy with the pork.
The dish's history reflects the adaptability and creativity of Korean cuisine, where traditional ingredients and techniques are combined with new flavors and ingredients to create delicious and distinctive dishes like jeyuk bokkeum.
Jeyuk Bokkeum
Adapted
Serves 6
1 ½ pound pork loin (pork belly is traditional- if you use belly increase cooking time to 12-15 minutes) cut into bite size pieces (1/8 inch thick)
¼ cup gochujang
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons gochugaru
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1 medium size onion, sliced
4 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Add all the marinade ingredients into a bowl with the pork along with the onions and green onions.
Mix everything together until fully combined.
Marinate the pork in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is best.
To cook, heat a heavy bottomed pan, or preferable in a large cast-iron skillet, cook the marinated pork (in 2 batches if you have a small pan).
Fight the temptation to start moving the meat around in the pan the moment is touches it. It is important to allow the pork to sear and become caramelized. Leave it for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat the process until the pork is cooked.

I share Y'all here casual cuisine. It's one of bulgogi(Kor grilled meat). This is the Stir-fried(or broiled) pork also known as Jeyuk bokkeum. Btw that Eng title became 'Stir-Fried pork'. But Stir broiled pork is more correct answer when look at cooking system. Flavour is sweetish spicy savoriness. It's casual menu than common grilled meat. So if take to chance, make to eat it once.🥘🥢🥄
