Korean Meat Bulgogi
4 servings
60 minutes
Bulgogi is translated from Korean as "fire meat" - originally this was the name for any marinated meat cooked over an open fire. Usually beef, pork or chicken is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, kung ghee oil and spices, but you can add whatever you want to the marinade: onions, mushrooms or even pears, as in our recipe. And this is the case when it is appropriate to refuse the combination of bread and meat: bulgogi is eaten wrapped in a lettuce leaf.
