👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Prepare the pork bones: Place the pork bones in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat for 10 minutes. This process, called 'blanching,' removes impurities and any gamey odors. Drain the bones, discard the cloudy water, and rinse the bones thoroughly under cold running water. Clean the stockpot.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 2
Make the broth: Return the cleaned pork bones to the stockpot. Add the pork shoulder, 4 cups of water (or enough to cover by about 2 inches), smashed garlic cloves, sliced ginger, and the white and light green parts of the scallions. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface during the first hour of simmering. Cover the pot and let it simmer for at least 3 hours, or until the pork shoulder is very tender and the broth is rich and opaque. Add more water if the level drops significantly.
⏱️ 3 hours - 3
Prepare the pork and broth: Carefully remove the pork shoulder from the pot and set aside on a cutting board to cool slightly. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot or heatproof container, discarding the bones, aromatics, and any solids. You should have a milky, flavorful broth. You can chill the broth in the refrigerator overnight; the fat will solidify on top and can be easily removed for a leaner soup, or left in for extra richness.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Shred the pork: Once the pork shoulder is cool enough to handle, shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks or your fingers. Discard any excess fat or gristle.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
Assemble the bowls: To serve, reheat the strained broth until simmering. Place a generous portion of cooked rice into each individual serving bowl. Arrange a portion of the shredded pork over the rice. Ladle the hot, simmering broth over the rice and pork until the ingredients are mostly submerged.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Garnish and season: Garnish each bowl generously with the thinly sliced green parts of the scallions and the cut chives. Serve immediately with small dishes of salted shrimp (saeujeot) and optional gochugaru on the side. Diners can then season their soup to their personal taste by adding salted shrimp (and its brine), gochugaru, salt, and pepper.

💡 Conseils de pro
- ✓For a truly authentic Busan experience, ensure you use pork bones (like neck bones or trotters) as they are key to the broth's characteristic milky color and rich flavor.
- ✓The salted shrimp (saeujeot) is crucial for authentic flavor. It's best to add it at the table to allow each person to control the saltiness and umami level.
- ✓Don't skip the blanching step for the pork bones; it significantly improves the clarity and taste of the final broth.
- ✓If you have time, chilling the broth overnight and skimming off the solidified fat can create a cleaner-tasting soup, though many prefer the richness of the unskimmed broth.
