pan-fried pork steak with gochujang 

after coming back from our memorable seoul eat & hike 10-13nov2016,

& having had excellent korean bbq almost every night, twice at newmaul sikdang,

i tried my hands at couple of gochujang pork dishes. ^^

i first did the korean grilled belly pork with gochujang for teban gardens community breakfast on 18.11.2016. 🙂

that was a big serving for like 100 people. i did with 1.5kg belly pork. pork was very tender but not breaking, good bite & quite excellent korean gochujang flavour & sweet tasty pork.

the community service centre folks & the volunteers all loved it.

defrosted scalded pork steak from sheng shiong  

i had some frozen pork rib steaks from sheng shiong, like 500g pack for S$5 or thereabout. they looked very good so i bought them.

after defrosting & washing with salt, i scalded with boiling water & cleaned the steaks.

my old gochujang bottle finished, so i went to sheng shing earlier to get a small tub, 170g for about S$2.40.

then its a very hot pan.

with a bit of butter.

pinch of salt = 1/6 tsp ?? agak-logy to taste la…

move the steaks around the pan for even heating. then turned fire to medium.

i covered the pan a bit, to make sure pork steak fully cooked. can also reduce to low fire & cook longer w/o cover la…lagi best!
