Spicy barbecued pork (daeji bulgogi)

For this dish, it is best to use pork that is a little bit fatty, such as pork belly or shoulder, as the fat will render and caramelise, turning into delicious smoky crispy bits.

  • 1 spring onion (scallion)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp caster (superfine) sugar

  1. To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend to a purée.
