作法
- 大鍋4公升水煮沸。加大醬、米酒、整顆蒜、拍碎薑、洋蔥、韭蔥綠、胡椒粒、月桂葉、即溶咖啡與鹽。煮5分鐘讓香料浸入。
- 把五花肉放入微滾湯中。液體應完全淹過；不夠加熱水。咖啡是消除蒸氣可能帶出的豬肉「noerimsae」（腥味）的關鍵。
- 以最小微滾煮75–90分鐘。豬肉應叉得開；筷子應無阻穿入。別大滾否則肉變緊。
- 豬肉撈到砧板上。蓋鋁箔靜置10分鐘——切太早流失肉汁。汆燙湯可留作鍋物高湯。
- 豬肉逆紋切5公釐片——每片應顯肉皮脂層次。韓式切法保持片夠大可包。
- 盤上溫熱豬肉。配大白菜葉（或紫蘇）、蘿蔔泡菜、包飯醬、生蒜片與飯。吃法：取葉，放一片豬肉，沾包飯醬，加泡菜與生蒜片，折成一口包。手抓著吃；包飯是共食。

文化背景
包飯是慶典料理——豬肉需長時間溫和關注、桌上滿滿小菜、大家用手吃。這道菜最常與秋末kimjang（醃泡菜）季節相關，全家聚集做冬泡菜：在抹泡菜醬時，旁邊做新鮮蘿蔔泡菜（musaengchae）、汆燙五花肉，年度泡菜製作的慶祝變成包飯餐。即溶咖啡技巧是低調家用做法，高級韓國餐廳也悄悄使用。
