Gochujang Pork

I found this recipe in Bon Apetit. Gochujang is a Korean sweet chili paste which is good on its own and gives this marinade a great flavor that is absorbed well by the pork. I served it over rice with some grilled bok choy.  Save a little extra marinade besides that for basting.  Cook to heat off the alcohol and strain to serve as a dipping sauce.  This also works well on chicken.

Gochujang Pork
Ingredients
8 garlic cloves, peel and crushed
1 2" piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
1/2 c dry sake
1/2 c gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
1/2 c sweet mirin
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 1/2 lb skinless, boneless pork shoulder sliced 3/4" thick

Directions
1.  Purée garlic, sake, gochujang, mirin and vegetable oil in blender.  Set 1/4 c marinade aside, chill.
2.  Transfer remaining marinade into large dish or plastic bag.  Add pork.  Chill, turning occasionally, at least 2 hours.
3.  Prepare grill. Remove pork from marinade and grill, basting with reserved marinade, turning as needed until cooked to desired doneness.
