Korean Spicy Pork Bites

[bauchjw]

A while back there was a thread someone recommended watching “Korean Pork Belly Rhapsody” on Netflix. Really cool Docu-series. I’ve never tried Korean BBQ and the Documentary made me decide to give it a try. Don’t ask me why I decided to give it a go for my Super Bowl party contribution, felt kind of un-American! But it was a big hit!

10 pound butt, I cut in half, 5 pnd for pulled pork, the other for the pork bites.
Pork bite half cut into long strips:

Marinade for 6 hours and I doubled the recipe;

• ½ red onion, sliced into thin strips
• 3 stalks green onion, sliced into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• ¼ cup korean red chili paste, gochujang
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons rice wine
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• sesame seed, green onion to garnish

Stuck them on skewers then onto apple pellet smoker at 250 to join the other half of butt.

The butt got done shortly after I put the bites on wrapped to rest, the shredded right before the party:

And the bites were at about 185-90 IT when I pulled them off. I didn’t want them fall apart, still needed some resistance to a bite,

Garnished with sesame seeds and green onion! They were delicious with a nice spicy flavor! Really good with IPA, and they didn’t make it much past kick off!

Fun new flavor and “thing“ to try!

Thanks for your time!

Not un-american AT ALL! Those look amazing and well executed sir. I'd eat a plate full of those any day. Well done

The bites look delicious. I am a big fan of Korean BBQ. If you're digging the K BBQ, you need to get some gochugaru too. It amps up anything that calls for red pepper flakes. Smoky heat.

Those look great Jed, that will be tried here at some point. Love a lot of Asian flavors

Thank you! I really liked the gochujang paste, I'm guessing gochugaru is a different pepper? I'll definitely look it up. I like a little heat, not too much to overwhelm. That'd be a fun one to add into the spice rack!

Thank you David! I haven't done too much Asian, hardly ever outside of attempts at a Wok. It was fun to pull out a different flavor from the smoker.

Gochujang is made with Gochugaru.

Those look so good I think I would even eat them raw off the skewer if no one was looking.

That is a staple in my overflowing spice cupboard now. Learned of it when I did my kimchi awhile back.

Well as unamerican as sports are now a days. I find it's like stabbing myself in the eyes watching this unamerican commie trash they call pro sports now. I do like PBR though lol. I see no issue regardless though. Too many people trying to tell us how to live our lives. I am just gonna do me everyone else can suck it lol

Here is my recipe. Just did these couple days ago. I keep some chucks of fresh pineapple in freezer and grate a couple into marinades. It is the best tenderizer there is. Let marinade for 6 hours.

2 - 3 chucks pineapple
⅓ cup sherry wine
⅓ cup soy sauce
¼ cup rice vinegar
⅛ cup brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1.5" ginger grated
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon hot chile paste
1 teaspoon sesame oil
