Treat your ingredients with care...

• Pork neck meat — Choose well-marbled cuts for the best flavor and tenderness. Trim any excess fat before marinating.
• Sesame oil — Opt for toasted sesame oil for a more intense nutty flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the pork neck meat on a stovetop grill pan or in the oven under the broiler.
• Serve the Grilled Moksal with a side of steamed rice and kimchi for a complete Korean meal.
