Jang Jorim -(장조림)

I decided to make jang jorim for the home and office.

Needed:
  • 2.5-3lbs of beef (I used chuck roast)
  • 2 serrano chiles (or more, that's all I had in my fridge)
  • 2 jalapenos
  • 10-15 cloves of garlic
  • dae pa (large green onion/leek)
  • small white onion
  • dried Korean red pepper
  • 6 hard boiled eggs
  • 8 cups water, 1 cup soy sauce, 4 TB rice wine, 3 TB sugar, 1 TB honey powder, and 1 TB corn syrup
Total Prep Time: 2 hours

Begin by preparing your meat. Remove it from the plastic and use a large knife to cut it up into 3-inch chunks.


_MG_8329
Let it sit in cold water for about 15 minutes to drain it of it's blood.


_MG_8331
Meanwhile, wash and prep all your vegetables.


_MG_8334
Hard boil some eggs for about 15 minutes, then remove from heat, peel them and set aside.


_MG_8336
After the meat has been drained for a while, add enough water to cover and boil it for about 10 minutes until the gunk rises to the top.


_MG_8337
And then........wash and clean both the meat and the pot.


_MG_8338
In the pot add 8 cups water, 1 cup soy sauce, 4 TB rice wine, 3 TB sugar, 1 TB honey powder, and 1 TB corn syrup and turn up the heat. Note: If you don't have honey powder you can just add 1 more TB of sugar. I just LOVE the sweetness of honey powder so I tend to add it to everything.


_MG_8339
Finally add your meat, and all the vegetables except the garlic cloves.


_MG_8345
Let everything boil together for about 50 minutes and then remove all the vegetables that you used until this point and discard.


_MG_8347
Add your eggs first and let it boil for about 20 minutes.


_MG_8350
Then finally add your garlic cloves and some more sliced jalapenos and let it boil for about 15 minutes.


_MG_8352
You're almost done! Let it sit until it cools down.


_MG_8354
The beef should be really tender and very easy to shred using your hands.


_MG_8356
Pour the leftover sauce into the meat through a strainer...


_MG_8358
Slice the eggs and you can store them separately or together. I just stored this one together since I will be taking it into the office today.


_MG_8359
This was Munchkin's breakfast this morning. He doesn't like egg yolk. =)

Tada! All ready to serve. Enjoy!

PS. For those of you who are non-Korean and have never seen this dish before. This is a side dish. Enjoy it with rice because it is quite salty and would most definitely give you a sodium overload if you eat it just by itself. =P

  1. That looks really good! What is honey powder though, and do I get it at the Korean market? Last question, what kind of camera do you use for your pictures? Your pictures make the food so much more delish! Drool... :)

  2. @Nicki - you can get honey powder at any Korean market and I'm sure they have it at the American markets too next to the regular honey. I have a DSLR. Canon xti. =)

  4. this is very similar to a vietnamese dish that we have except we do not shred the beef, we just take bites from the whole chunk pieces and it stays in the broth that it came with...you are right though that it needs to be eaten with rice or else it will be too salty...we just use different ingredients. how cool!
