The meat is a thick 2cm cut, so it's full of juice and flavor haha. It's tender, not chewy at all, so it's easy for kids or elderly family members to eat too 👍 ![Thick 2cm pork neck yangnyeom-gui grilling over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-manse-ro-charcoal-pork-ribs-side-dishes/pyeongtaek-manse-ro-charcoal-pork-ribs-side-dishes-14-66fel-1200.webp) ### 144-hour cross-aged pork yangnyeom-galbi The pork yangnyeom-galbi uses cuts full of juice and flavor, cross-aged for 144 hours in a special pear-based marinade, so the meat comes out tender with the seasoning soaked all the way through haha. ![Pork yangnyeom-galbi aged in a pear-based marinade](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-manse-ro-charcoal-pork-ribs-side-dishes/pyeongtaek-manse-ro-charcoal-pork-ribs-side-dishes-15-1w5mv-900.webp) The meat was so tender, not bland and not too salty, the savory flavor was insane,,,🫶🏻 The seasoning was just right, so I really enjoyed it haha. ![A piece of grilled seasoned galbi picked up with tongs](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-manse-ro-charcoal-pork-ribs-side-dishes/pyeongtaek-manse-ro-charcoal-pork-ribs-side-dishes-16-1nk84-900.webp) Wrap it up like this with mu-saengchae and pickled onions,,,♥ Looking at the photo again makes me want to eat it again 😂 ![Lettuce wrap topped with mu-saengchae and pickled onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-manse-ro-charcoal-pork-ribs-side-dishes/pyeongtaek-manse-ro-charcoal-pork-ribs-side-dishes-17-1jwtd-900.webp) ## How strong is the charcoal aroma? Ihwajeong Charcoal-Grilled Pork Galbi uses twice-burned charcoal and rice husk smoking, so the meat picks up that deep, smoky charcoal flavor with a subtle charcoal aroma — I really enjoyed it haha. ![Pork galbi picking up smoky aroma over charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-manse-ro-charcoal-pork-ribs-side-dishes/pyeongtaek-manse-ro-charcoal-pork-ribs-side-dishes-18-gamte-900.webp) ## Bibim-naengmyeon to finish the galbi Bi-naeng with galbi!
