Used the marinade (plus water) to braise pork ribs and butt (3hours).
Super delicious !

Hi Erwin,

If you don’t have access to a Korean shop nearby, try if you can find Chinese light soy sauce. If that isn’t an option either, get Kikkoman or Japanese soy sauce, which is available in all supermarkets.
Whatever you can find, do NOT use Indonesian Ketjap Manis or Ketjap Asin. These are totally different sauces, and the Manis is way too sweet and has lots of spices added to it too.

It is so easy to make and extremely delicious. Will definitely make this on the barbecue when the weather is nicer in UK.

I made this this and it was delicious! I used thinly sliced pork loin. I got busy and the meat ended up marinating for about 4 hours. The meat seemed a little too tender. Did I overmarinate? My husband grilled the meat and possibly didn’t brown it enough. Regardless, it was delicious and we will make it again!

In reply to Gigi. No problem with marinating longer. Enjoy!

I am going to make this. I’m so excited! Can you marinate the thinly sliced pork longer than 30 mins.? Or will anything longer be too much?
