Unlike its beef counterpart, which is traditionally marinated in a soy sauce based sauce, pork is typically marinated in a spicy chili pepper paste (gochujang) based sauce with lots of fresh garlic and ginger. For an authentic Korean dish, there is simply no substitute for gochujang. The recipe also uses gochugaru (Korean red chili pepper flakes). You can omit it if you like it less spicy or add more to make it spicier.
You can also use grated apple to add an acidic sweet flavor to the marinade. The apple works really good with the pork.
Although any cut of pork can be used for this dish, pork shoulder or loin with some fat works best. You can add sliced pork belly to intensify the pork flavor. You can normally find pre sliced pork at Korean markets. If cutting the meat at home, partially freeze it for about an hour before slicing.
The marinated pork can be either grilled over open fire or pan fried.
Serve with red or green leaf lettuce in which to wrap the meat, along with ssamjang or simply gochujang. Perilla leaves and crown daisy are great vegetables to add to your wraps, if available.
