STEP 1/13
Soak jokbal in cold water for at least an hour to remove blood. It's better to change the water from time to time. I soaked it for 2 hours to remove the blood. Even if you soak it for 2 hours, the blood doesn't get rid of completely.
STEP 2/13
It's a pig's foot. It's called Danjok or Mini Jokbal because it's short. This area has a lot of hair. Use a razor to shave thoroughly. I cleaned it up with a disposable razor.
STEP 3/13
Prepare enough water to soak the jokbal and boil it for 5 minutes from the time it starts boiling again. I'm boiling it as a base. It serves to control the unique smell of jokbal, so please do this even if it's annoying.
STEP 4/13
Soak in cold water and thoroughly wash the foreign substances. You can see the blood clotting here and there as it hardens. It's more convenient to use a toothbrush that you can't use than to rub it with your hands. I thoroughly cleaned between jokbal with my toothbrush.
STEP 5/13
I washed the jokbal thoroughly and prepared the broth ingredients. I prepared onions, cheongyang peppers, whole garlic, green onion roots, and green onions. I bought only one green onion, so I used a little more, but I think you can skip it if you don't have it depending on the situation. Of course, it's better if you put it in!
STEP 6/13
Add jokbal to boiling water and add 2 glasses of white wine (based on soju glass) and prepared stock ingredients. I added enough water to cover the jokbal.
STEP 7/13
I added 2 shots of espresso and 1 tablespoon of whole pepper, which is good for removing smell and meat color.
If you don't have an espresso, you can add 2 coffee mix. You can add one or two more depending on your preference. The color and scent only get darker, but it doesn't really affect the taste. However, when I added espresso, it smelled like oriental medicine, so I liked it because it felt similar to herbal medicine.
STEP 8/13
I put in 2 tablespoons of soybean paste that is good for removing smell and has a big effect on taste. We put 2 and a half cups of soy sauce (based on paper cups), but the seasoning may vary slightly depending on the amount of water, so if you are bored, add a little more soy sauce and match it. If you need more seasoning, use soy sauce for the seasoning. Seasoned with salt, no~
STEP 9/13
Add 1 cup starch syrup and 1 1/2 cup sugar. I don't like sweet things, so I put in just enough. If you like sweet and salty, I think you can add a little sugar. You can easily taste the broth for jokbal, so taste the broth. If you still don't know, you can taste it and judge it.
STEP 10/13
I closed the lid and boiled it over medium heat for an hour and a half.
STEP 11/13
I got jokbal. I didn't use caramel, but the color came out well, right? It's all thanks to soy sauce and espresso. I had a big urge to eat it right away, but I remembered that it was better to eat it after cooling it slightly, so I cooled it down for a while in the natural wind.
STEP 12/13
It wasn't that hard to cut jokbal because it was a little cold. I was a little upset that there was no fresh kimchi, makguksu, salted shrimp, or pickled onions that came with jokbal at the jokbal restaurant, but I took out as many things as possible that would go well with jokbal. When I took out the things in the refrigerator, I found lettuce wraps, ssamjang, pickled vegetables (onions, garlic species, perilla leaves, pumpkin leaves, etc.), and leek fresh kimchi.
STEP 13/13
Anyway, I finally ate the jokbal that I wanted to eat and dreamed of. The taste was very, very satisfying. The jokbal sold here isn't that delicious. I think it was even better because we found a delicious recipe and made it ourselves.
