If you put it on a well-heated grill, it will whet your appetite with its crackling sound and savory smell. When the fat and lean meat are in harmony in our mouths, we take in a cool cup of soju, and sometimes the ripe kimchi and miso stew quickly make the rice crackle in our soul food. From low-fat, light, and tender, steak-like pork, to chewy skin, savory fat, and pork belly with just the right blend of lean meat that pops in your mouth. Here are some restaurants that serve grilled pork with a variety of cuts and flavors.
1. Wangsimni's “Charcoal-grilled Chicken with Charcoalâ€
“Charcoal-grilled pork ribs†is located within Wangsimni Haengdang Market. The characteristic of the charcoal cooking method is that the meat is cooked quickly by frequently turning it over on a cast iron plate. The intensity and temperature of the fire, the characteristics of the grill, the timing of putting the meat on the plate and turning it over, and even the cutting are all done properly, so the meat is juicy. The most popular menu items are “raw pork belly†and “raw shoulder meat.†Skillfully skilled staff cook the meat themselves, and the meat is full of juice, so you can feel the savory and chewy texture of the meat every time you chew it. Also, the eringi mushrooms, which are baked in a barrel, are cut horizontally so that the mushroom's aroma and juice are alive, and their crunchy texture is as chewy as meat. Biji jjjjigae (provided as standard), which is made by adding fresh kimchi and sliced pork, and simmered in a spicy sauce, is also a delicacy.
