🍱 Home BBQ Tips: Pork Soy Stir Fry (기사불백)
✨ What Is It?
If you’ve ever driven across Korea, chances are you’ve seen a “기사식당 (Gisa Sikdang)” — local diners tucked near highways and industrial areas, serving affordable, hearty meals to taxi and truck drivers.
And one of the all-time favourites on these menus?
Pork Soy Stir Fry, known lovingly as 기사불백.
GMGP’s version is a home-style soy-marinated pork stir fry made from juicy shoulder cuts, sliced for quick, even cooking. The savoury-sweet soy base is rich with garlic and a subtle hint of pepper — no spice, just classic Korean comfort.
❤️ Why Koreans Love It
- It's the ultimate driver’s lunch — filling, reliable, and served fast.
- Flavour-packed but not spicy — perfect for any palate.
- Affordable, nostalgic, and simple enough to eat every day.
- Often served with rice, soup, and banchan side dishes — a complete meal.
Think of it as the Korean cousin of a lunchbox teriyaki pork — but with a deeper, homestyle flavour.
🔥 How to Cook
| Method | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Pan Fry | Medium heat, 6–7 mins. Stir occasionally. No oil needed. |
| Charcoal BBQ | Use a pan or foil tray to grill until caramelised. |
Prep Tip: Defrost overnight or leave at room temp for 1 hour. Pat dry slightly before cooking for best sear.
🍚 How Koreans Eat It
A scoop of rice, a ladle of miso soup, and a plate of pork soy stir fry. That’s the standard set in a 기사식당 — humble, satisfying, and addictive.
