Ingredients

• 10 lb / 4.5 kg pork shoulder or pork leg
• 1 large Korean radish
• 1 large onion
• 1 burdock root
• 2 large green onions
• 3.5 oz / 100 g dried shiitake mushrooms
• 20 cloves garlic
• 2 small pieces ginger
• 1 Tbsp whole black peppercorns
• 2–3 Tbsp salt (to taste)
• Water: enough to cover the pork and vegetables (about 15 L / 4 gal)

How to Make It

Step 1

Cut the radish into large chunks. Make a small slit in the root end of the onion. Slice the peeled burdock root diagonally. Cut the green onions into large pieces. Add all the vegetables to a large pot.

Step 2

Rinse the dried shiitake mushrooms once and add them to the pot. Slice the ginger and add it as well.

Step 3

Rinse the pork under running water. Place it in the pot with the fatty side facing down. Add enough water to fully cover the meat.

Step 4

Add the black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over high heat with the lid off. When it starts boiling, gently skim off any impurities from the surface.

Step 5

Cover the pot and simmer over medium heat for about 2½ hours. If needed, skim off excess oil while cooking.

Step 6

Remove the pork first, then take out all the vegetables. Season the broth with 2 tablespoons of salt, starting with less and adjusting to taste.

Step 7

Strain the broth once more. For a cleaner broth, refrigerate it for one day and remove the solidified fat from the top.

Step 8

Wrap the cooked pork tightly and refrigerate for one day. Slice it as thinly as possible.

Step 9

Serve with firm, not mushy rice. Top the rice with sliced pork, rinse once with hot water, then pour in the hot broth. Finish with sliced green onions.
