Grilled Gochujang Pork With Fresh Sesame Kimchi Recipes

GRILLED GOCHUJANG PORK WITH FRESH SESAME KIMCHI

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the gochugaru, vinegar, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of the garlic, 1 teaspoon of the ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, the fish sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar; mix well. Add bok choy and scallions, and toss with your hands, working the sauce in between and all over the leaves.
• Heat a grill to medium-high or heat a stovetop griddle pan over medium-high. In a large bowl, combine the gochujang, neutral oil, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon black pepper and the remaining 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 teaspoon ginger and 1 tablespoon sugar; mix well. Very lightly season the pork with salt and pepper. Add pork and onion to the marinade and toss, gently massaging the marinade all over the meat (The meat does not need to rest in the marinade before it is grilled, but it can be marinated for up to 3 hours.)
• Grill the pork and onion, in batches if necessary, until nicely charred and caramelized around the edges, and the pork is cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Serve the grilled pork and onions with the fresh sesame kimchi and rice on the side.

KOREAN PORK CHOPS WITH GOCHUJANG MARINADE

Steps:

• To make marinade: Whisk first 9 ingredients (excluding pork) together in medium bowl. Pour into one-gallon sealable plastic bag. Add pork chops, coating pork in marinade. Close bag and refrigerate, turning bag occasionally, for at least 2 and up to 6 hours. To make pork: Prepare outdoor grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat, about 450 degrees F. Brush grill grates clean. Remove pork from marinade - do not shake off excess marinade. Discard remaining marinade. Grill, with grill lid closed, turning once, until the internal temperature reads between 145 degrees F. (medium rare) to 160 degrees F. (medium) on a digital meat thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest 3 minutes. If making with Asian slaw, divide slaw among 4 dinner plates. Top each with a chop, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

PRESSURE COOKER KOREAN SOY-GLAZED PORK BELLY

Steps:

• In a pressure cooker, combine soy sauce, scallions, sugar, garlic, ginger, mushrooms and 1 teaspoon black pepper, and mix well. Lightly season pork belly with salt and pepper, and add to cooker. Toss pork in the sauce, massaging the sauce into the meat. Arrange pork in an even layer on top of the sauce. Lock pressure cooker lid in place and set steam vent to sealing position. Select high pressure and cook for 30 minutes. Let pressure release naturally.
• Transfer pork and mushrooms to a large plate. Carefully pour liquid into a fat separator or large bowl and degrease. Return liquid to the pressure cooker. Using the sauté function, simmer until reduced to about 1/2 cup, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the mushrooms. Once the liquid is reduced, add the pork and mushrooms to the cooker and simmer, stirring, until warmed through and evenly coated in the sauce, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and spoon the sauce on top.
• Serve with steamed rice, lettuce cups, kimchi and gochujang. Cut pork into bite-size pieces, wrap and enjoy.
