Moksal | Traditional Pork Cut From South Korea, East Asia | TasteAtlas

Moksal

(목살)

Moksal is a Korean name for pork cuts obtained from the neck of the animal. This pork cut is nicely marbled, and its tough and stiff texture makes it great for grilling. Compared to samgyeopsal (pork belly), moksal doesn’t have as much fat.


This cut comes in pork chop size, and as it’s grilled, the meat is often cut into bite-sized pieces with special scissors. This is one of the most popular pork cuts in Korea and it’s mostly used for Korean barbecue.
