David Chang’s effortlessly cool Los Angeles outpost Majordomo serves this modern version of a traditonal Korean boiled pork dish tableside for $150 dollars a pop but you can make a substantial homecooked version for less than a quarter of the price. A bone in pork shoulder, a simple dry rub, some time in the fridge overnight and then a slow roast in the oven results in a crusty spiced mess of tender pork begging to be eaten!
