Tsushima Tonchan introduction
Tsushima Tonchan (対馬とんちゃん, Tsushima tonchan) is a flavorful dish made by grilling pork marinated in a sweet and savory barbecue sauce, alongside vegetables like cabbage and bean sprouts. Its origins trace back to post-war northern Tsushima, where Korean residents introduced the recipe. Over time, local butchers adapted the dish to suit Japanese tastes. The pork's natural flavor shines best with shoulder loin cuts, offering a tender and juicy bite. The distinctive sauce, which defines the dish, is crafted with ingredients like miso, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and chili peppers. This hearty and flavorful combination is sure to satisfy!
