Ingredients
2 pounds sliced pork butt
1 liter lemon-lime soda, such as Sprite
1/2 onion, plus sliced onions, for serving
4 garlic cloves
2 ounces ginger, peeled
1 green onion
4 ounces pineapple or pineapple juice
1/2 cup gochujang
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup mirin
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Korean fine chili powder (not coarse)
1/2 ounce sesame oil
Vegetable oil, for the pan
Kosher salt
Julienned carrots, for serving
Directions
- Cut the pork down the middle (in half) and add to a bowl with the lemon-lime soda. Allow to soak for at least 10 minutes. Drain out the soda.
- Put the 1/2 onion, garlic, ginger, green onion and pineapple in a blender and blend on medium low. Pour into the bowl with the pork and add the gochujang, sugar, mirin, soy sauce, Korean fine chili powder and sesame oil. Allow the pork to marinate for 12 hours.
- Heat up a pan and add vegetable oil. Lay the pork carefully in the pan (don't pile the pork--make sure every piece is touching the pan). Cook until the meat is firm, about 15 minutes. Add a touch of salt, sliced onions and thinly sliced carrots (matchstick.) Then, cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.
