Jokbal

South Korea · East Asia

Short description: This platter is prized for tender meat, chewy skin, and a glossy soy-spice braise.
Ingredients: Pig trotters, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, rice wine, sugar, spices, scallions, and salted shrimp sauce.
Cultural note: Often eaten as a shared late meal, it is commonly paired with wraps, garlic, chiles, and dipping sauces.
Common misconception: It is not just roasted pork; the distinctive texture comes from slow braising the trotters.
