What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Time To Eat: Gochujang Glazed Pork! I like it when fellow bloggers share success stories about recipes they’ve used. It’s the best kind of testimonial for good eating, in my opinion. Judy, of Cooking With Aunt Juju*, also knows the value of letting the slow cooker do most of the work. Plus, it makes the house smell ah-mazing! The only difference I made was substituting pork loin for the beef stew meat. But you know what they say, “Two heads are better than one.” Thanks Judy for another great home-cooked meal.
GOCHUJANG GLAZED PORK
Ingredients:
2 pounds pork loin, cubed
4 scallions, sliced and separated
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup cola
3 tablespoons gochujang
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
Green onions, for garnish
Instructions:
Combine cubed pork loin, scallions, and minced garlic in an 8-quart crockpot. Combine cola, gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Whisk well. Pour over meat; coat well. Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 8 hours. Stir well; remove pork loin cubes to a platter. Gently shred the chunks. Pour the remaining sauce into a skillet and simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until thickened. Add the rice vinegar and platter of shredded pork. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is coated and sauce turns thick and glossy. Transfer to plates; garnish with green onion snips and toasted sesame seeds, as desired. Serve with steamed rice.
