Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar or honey
  • 6 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 4 Tbsp garlic, minced
  • 4 Tbsp ginger, minced
  • 2 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes, optional for extra heat)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup (helps with glaze)

Instructions

  • 1) Mix together gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar (or honey), sesame oil, garlic, ginger, ketchup, and gochugaru (optional for extra spice).
  • 2) Score your pork shoulder and cover with half the marinade. Let it rest at least 4 hours or overnight. Simmer down the other half of the marinade for a sauce to mix in with your pork.
  • 3) Take out of fridge and top with your favorite BBQ Rub.
  • 4) Smoke at 225°F until you’ve built that beautiful bark, then wrap with apple juice.
  • 5) Cook until probe tender, around 203°F. Make sure to rest your meat!
  • 6) Shred, pour over the extra sauce, and serve.
