Ingredients
- 2 lbs Grilled Jeju Black Pork (sliced into 1-inch thick pieces)
- 1/4 cup Aged Hon-Mirin
- 2 tbsp Shottsuru
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups Shredded Yubari King Melon
- 1 cup Chopped Koshino Ruby Tomato
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 cup Bird's Nest Soup (prepared according to package instructions)
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Chopped scallions for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the Aged Hon-Mirin, Shottsuru, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced Grilled Jeju Black Pork and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all those bold flavors.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Shredded Yubari King Melon and Chopped Koshino Ruby Tomato. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice, then season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to mix and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and beautifully charred. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In a saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer. Add the prepared Bird's Nest Soup and soy sauce, stirring gently. Heat through for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
- On each plate, arrange slices of the Grilled Jeju Black Pork alongside a generous scoop of the tropical Salsa. Serve with a bowl of the Bird's Nest Soup on the side for a complete and satisfying meal.
