Dotjeyuk: Jeju Black Pork with Naengmyeon
Dot is an old Korean word for pig. Dotjeyuk is Jeju black pork, boiled and served chilled. Rather than strong seasoning, we keep the nutty aroma and clean taste of the pork itself, with salted shrimp alongside. It suits naengmyeon, and it suits Seonju Humyeon, a drink first and then noodles.

Our Dotjeyuk is Jeju black pork, boiled and served chilled. Rather than adding strong seasoning, we keep the nutty aroma and the clean taste that the black pork has on its own, and serve salted shrimp alongside.
It goes well beside naengmyeon, and it suits Seonju Humyeon (a drink first, then noodles), where drinks and food come first and naengmyeon closes the meal. It is a representative single dish at Seogwanmyeonog.
Jeju Buckwheat and Jeju Black Pork
Our naengmyeon is made from 100% Jeju buckwheat, and Dotjeyuk uses Jeju black pork.
Two different ingredients, buckwheat and pork, both come from Jeju and meet at one table. Served chilled, Dotjeyuk holds the clean taste of the lean meat and the nutty taste of the fat in balance, and a little of the salted shrimp served with it adds savor.
Why It Goes Well with Naengmyeon
The nutty aroma of Dotjeyuk carries naturally into the scent of the buckwheat and the clear Hanwoo (Korean beef) broth.
Taste a piece of the pork and then the naengmyeon, or take the buckwheat noodles and the meat together. Both are clean tasting, yet the meat, the buckwheat and the broth each add a different taste and texture, which makes a bowl of naengmyeon a little fuller.
A Plate for Seonju Humyeon
If this is your first Seonju Humyeon with us, Dotjeyuk is an easy dish to start with.
Have Dotjeyuk first with a drink, then close the meal with Pyeongyang Naengmyeon. That flow, beginning with meat and drink and ending with buckwheat and clear broth, suits the Seonju Humyeon we talk about.
Even without a drink, it is a side dish worth sharing alongside naengmyeon.
