Hello everyone I'm Solo Chef Bak MuDDaeng

Though Koreans may think this is easy

When foreigners look at it its startling

today we'll make Bossam with crushed garlic

This may look difficult

But its very easy, so lets give it a try.

So lets starts!

First, prepare 500g

of big and thick whole pork belly.

If you can't find whole pork belly

it doesn't matter if you use other cuts.

Then cut it in pieces big enough

to fit in your pot

Now put the pork belly in the pot so that

the fatty part touches the bottom

And while the fatty part heats up

the fat will begin to render

equally flip the pork belly

and start to brown the outside

Until til it looks like this

where the outside is golden brown

Either cola you opened and

left out too long at home

or cola you ordered with chicken

and forgot about

anything works

pour 3 cups into you pot

along with one cup of soy sauce

like this, 3 cups cola, 1 cup soy sauce

ratio of 3:1

turn the stove to low

and boil until the cola and soy sauce

have almost all evaporated.

like Kwak Shiyang who appeared on TV

there's herb tonic boiled pork

boiled pork made in a microwave

Yakult boiled pork, etc, etc

there are so many ways to make it

so refer to the link for instructions

Eating delicious pork like this is nice

but while were waiting

lets make the garlic topping

first prepare and weigh out

about 150g of whole garlic

and make sure to cut off

the end stem part

the mart in front of my house only

has this small sized garlic

I prepared about this much.

But if you have the big, fat garlic,

its better to use that.

Now get a plate you can

use in the microwave

and put all the trimmed garlic on it

and pour one of two glugs of water.

Cover with the lid

and put in the microwave for

4-5 minutes. (700W)

It's safer to use this microwave cover

than to use plastic wrap.

Take out the softened garlic

and add 3 spoons of sugar,

about 1/4 spoon of MSG,

and put double the amount of water

than sugar (6 spoons).

Now just mash the softened garlic.

But if the garlic isn't softened

and doesn't smash easily,

put it in the microwave for another minute

Now ruthlessly smash the garlic

and mix it well with the sugar.

If this is bothersome,

put it in a blender,

and let it go for about 30 secs.

Well, I want to accommodate for those

who don't have a mixer,

so I'll do it by hand.

"No, but why do you use already smashed

garlic? Why go through all the trouble?"

Because when you smash the garlic

on the spot,

pre-cut garlic will work,

but many people have garlic

sitting around in their fridge already.

If you look at this,

Garlic that I bought and smashed today

its past it's prime and has ripened

Even though it's lost some of

it's juices and flavors,

compared to the garlic that was crushed

a week ago,

this is more ripened and discolored

If you're gonna use this kind of

garlic for this crushed garlic sauce

It'll be strong, pungent, and spicy

So when you eat it you'll get heartburn

and likely you're stomach will hurt

So like when you go to a pork belly restaurant

and roast whole garlic cloves

the whole garlic cloves have a rich flavor

and smell good.

Now when its all crushed

the savory and sweet garlic flavors mix

and the garlic sauce is complete.

Now going back to the pork belly

When the liquid has reached this point

take out the pork belly

and cut it into bite sized pieces.

Now the meat is hot, so be careful.

The outside will be this dark color

But the enside will be a milky white

and you've mastered the pork belly.

Set it out prettily

and put the garlic sauce on top.

Sprinkle some black sesame seeds on top

that give a nice contrasting color.

And if you don't have them, you can omit.

Though Koreans like it,

when foreigners see it they wanna pass out

Korean garlic sauce topped

Garlic boiled pork is finished.

This is so delicious.

You can taste the harmony of the ingredients
