1.5 pounds pork shoulder
0.25 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons gochujang
1 tablespoon honey
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon ginger grated
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 stalk green onion chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper to make the marinade.

- Grill the pork, basting occasionally with reserved marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and it’s nicely charred, about 15-20 minutes per side.
- Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds before serving.
