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
-
Try making this garlic boiled pork.
