JAE-YOOK
(KIM-CHI) BO-KUM
제육(김치)볶음
Jayook bokum also known as jaeyook kimchi bokum, is a delicious Korean
dish that consists of marinated pork loin which are stir-fried
with kimchi and red chili pepper paste, gochujang. When making
jaeyook bokum, gochujang is the key base sauce to this dish which determines
the flavor and its level of spiciness. Depending on one's taste, spiciness can
be softened by adding more soy sauce and less gochujang and red chili powder to
the sauce mix.
Jayook bokum can also be prepared with thinly sliced pork belly
strips, much like what's found in samgyupsal. Tofu is a great addition
commonly found alongside this dish but it is sometimes eaten with a bowl of
steamed, white rice to compliment its spiciness. Pork meat are initially cooked
over a medium to high heat and then stirred fried with gochujang, kimchi,
onions, carrots, scallions and other optional vegetables.
Some prefer pork to be crispy and bacon-like prior to stir-frying
all ingredients together. Jayook bokum is popular as an appetizer while
drinking soju but also great and hearty as a meal with rice and many
other side dishes.
