Critical Success Points
- • Boiling and shocking the pork skin to achieve proper texture.
- • Hand‑mixing the beef mixture for at least 10 minutes for even seasoning.
- • Ensuring the foil is tightly sealed before fermentation.
- • Maintaining a 24‑hour fermentation period at room temperature.
- • Chilling the brick for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Safety Warnings
- • Handle raw ground beef with clean hands and sanitize all surfaces to avoid cross‑contamination.
- • Ensure the Nimju seasoning contains enough salt and yeast; insufficient salt can allow harmful bacteria.
