Spicy Korean Pork Jerky
What it is
This is a savory and spicy pork jerky, inspired by the flavors of Korean barbecue. It is made from thinly sliced pork that has been marinated and then grilled or smoked to achieve a chewy texture and a rich, smoky taste. The marinade typically includes ingredients like soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and gochujang, which is a Korean chili paste that provides a characteristic heat and depth of flavor. The grilling process further enhances the smoky notes and creates a slightly caramelized exterior.
