So, my understanding is that "proper" bulgogi is marinated in a delicious marinade full of Asian pear and soy sauce and sesame oil and gochujang and all sorts of other delightful stuff. This is not that. This is a very quick, easy, bulgogi-like substance that gives you some of the same flavour without the effort. It can be a good quick fix for recipes that have lots of other components like gimbap or bibimbap.

Quick Bulgogi

From Aaron & Claire

Ingredients

• 100g shaved/very thinly sliced raw beef
• 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 Tbsp. light (regular) soy sauce
• 1/2 Tbsp. garlic paste
• 1 tsp. sesame oil
• black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Mix everything in a bowl. Massage it with your hands a bit.
2. Heat a little oil in a pan and add the beef and any residual marinade.
3. Cook until beef is done. If using for gimbap or something else that will be sensitive to excessive moisture, keep cooking until the liquid is gone.
