What is Bulgogi Anyways?
Bulgogi is a classic Korean meal that involves frying up marinated meats. Yes, it is that simple. Sometimes it is simplicity that makes food so great. In Korea Bulgogi is so popular that it can be found anywhere from the nicest of restaurants to your local market.
In America, Bulgogi can be found in many Korean-style restaurants and is integral to the popular Korean barbecue theme. Though, it is such a simple meal that you can make it up at home whenever you feel like it.
You Don’t Have to Stick to Chicken
Chicken is actually non-traditional when it comes to Bulgogi. While America’s favorite protein is easily adopted into the dish, in Korea it is usually made with pork or beef.
If you do want to try it with a different protein, the recipe below can be used with your choice. When using something tougher than chicken it would be best to try and slice it as thinly. A good sirloin or brisket are optimal cuts to work with.
Add Some Spice With a Marinade
In the recipe below there is no marinade to make putting this dish together as easy as possible. But, that does not mean that you can’t take things a step further. It is usually worth the effort.
No matter the protein you plan to use, the sauces we recommend below work well to create a marinade. Add some spices or your other favorite sauces to take it up a level. Then just leave it in an airtight container for a few hours, or overnight would be best.
