    Has anyone made this? I fancy trying it but the amount of gangujang sounds an awful lot, just wanted to make sure it was right before attempting this.

    Disappointing use of good ingredients. This isn't the best way to cook pork. Despite marinading for 24 hours, it was tough and hadn't benefitted from the diced apple. The cucumber was OK but not good enough to rescue the pork.
