• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

• 1/2 cucharaditas de pimienta negra recién molida

• 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground white pepper (optional)

• 1/4 cucharaditas de canela molida

Working one at a time, place pork chops on a cutting board and use the back of a cleaver or heavy chef’s knife to pound meat, moving knife back and forth across the surface, to 1/8"–1/4" thick. The surface will be jagged and textured.

Whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, soy paste, sugar, black pepper, white pepper (if using), cinnamon, Five-Spice Powder, and 80ml water in a large bowl. Add pork chops and turn to coat well. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.

Remove pork from marinade and pat dry. Place sweet potato starch in a large shallow dish. Working one at a time, dredge pork in starch to coat well on both sides; shake off excess and transfer to a plate.

Clip thermometer to the side of a large skillet or pot and pour in oil to come 1/2" up sides. Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 177°C. Working in batches, fry pork until just golden, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and let drain.

Repeat process, frying pork a second time until deep golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Return to rack and let cool slightly.

Transfer pork to a cutting board; slice into strips. Arrange in a single layer on a platter; sprinkle with gochugaru if using.
