Why Pork Is a Big Deal in Korean Cuisine?

In Korean cuisine, pork is more than just a meat — it’s a celebration, a comfort, and a flavour powerhouse. From sizzling BBQ to rich, hearty stews, pork takes centre stage in many iconic dishes. Let’s take a tour of some of Korea’s favourites — and yes, you can enjoy many of these at home with GMGP. 🧠 Why Is Pork So Central to Korean Cuisine? Historically, Korea’s geography and climate made pork a practical choice. Pigs required less land and labour than cattle and were well-suited to smaller farms. Over generations, pork became the centrepiece of everyday meals and celebration tables alike — especially after the Korean War, when beef was expensive and scarce. Pork dishes became a symbol of comfort, family gatherings, and flavourful, accessible food — evolving into the beloved dishes we know today. 🔥 Korean Pork Dishes You Should Know 🥓 1. Samgyeopsal (삼겹살 / Grilled Pork Belly) Nothing says Korean BBQ like thick, sizzling pork belly. Grill it, wrap it in lettuce, dip it in ssamjang — and enjoy it with friends. → Available at GMGP as fresh pork belly cuts.   🌶️ 2. Jeyuk Bokkeum (제육볶음 / Spicy Pork Stir-fry) This gochujang-based stir-fry is bold, spicy, and slightly sweet. It’s a quick weekday favourite that also works beautifully on a grill. → Try our “Spicy Pork Bulgogi” at GMGP.   🍱 3. Dwaeji Bulbaek (돼지불백 / Pork Bulgogi Set) A comforting soy-marinated pork dish, often served sizzling on a hot plate with rice. → Try our “Gisa Bulbaek” — made just like the lunchbox favourite in Korea.   🍖 4. Galbi (돼지갈비 / Korean Pork Ribs) Tender pork ribs marinated in a sweet-soy glaze, grilled to perfection. The meat falls off the bone — smoky, juicy, and addictive. → Ask about our marinated pork rib options at GMGP. 🥬 5. Bossam (보쌈 / Boiled Pork Wraps) Slow-boiled pork belly served with kimchi, garlic, and salty shrimp sauce. It’s savoury, silky, and perfect for wrapping in napa cabbage. 🍲 6. Gamjatang (감자탕 / Pork Bone Stew) A rich, spicy stew made with pork neck bones, potatoes, and perilla leaves. A cold-weather comfort food with deep flavour and tender meat. → While not available as a kit yet, it’s a favourite among Korean home cooks.   🌍 Respecting Different Food Cultures We understand and fully respect that some of our customers, especially from Muslim backgrounds, choose not to consume pork. At GMGP, we’re proud to offer a wide range of 100% Halal-certified beef, seafood, and ready-to-cook meals — so everyone can enjoy authentic Korean flavours their way. 🧑🍳 At GMGP, we celebrate flavour, choice, and culture. Whether you’re exploring pork dishes or sticking to Halal Wagyu, we believe good food is a bridge — not a boundary. Thanks for being part of this diverse table with us.
