Pork Cheek with Root Vegetables

I saw pork cheek at the store the other day, and tried looking it up on my phone... I didn't find much, but I picked them up to try anyway. They are surprisingly lean, streaked with more cartilage than fat, and therefore are suited for low, slow cooking. They taste like very meaty pork - yet another flavor from the pig! I cooked them up with root vegetables, and they were delicious.

Korean Bachelor Cooking

My former roommate was Korean, and he would often cook for himself. He was a single grad student, and he wasn't cooking "just like his mom," just something fast and easy. The cuisine was more the equivalent of mac and cheese with hot dogs, but at least healthier. This dish is what he cooked one night, and he often made a similar one-pot meal.
