SPICY PORK BULGOGI

Spicy, savory, sweet, gingery pork bulgogi made with Korean gochujang sauce.

Provided by JinJoo Lee

Categories     Main Course     Pork

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb thinly sliced pork neck butt/leg/shoulder
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp Korean red pepper bean paste ((고추장 gochujang))
2 Tbsp cooking rice wine or mirin
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 Tbsp grated or chopped fresh ginger
1 Tbsp chopped green onions
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Korean red chili powder ((고추가루 gochukaroo) +1 tsp to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Thinly sliced pieces from the neck, shoulder or hind leg (ham area) are used for pork bulgogi. The cut I bought from my local market is from the neck (collar butt) and it's called moksal (목살) in Korean.
  • Make the marinade by mixing all of the ingredients above.
  • Mix the pork slices and the sauce together and marinate for at least 15 min. or more the better. You can marinate pork bulgogi in the fridge for up to a day.
  • The best way to cook pork bulgogi is to BBQ it over a grill. But it's not easy to just directly cook them over the conventional American BBQ grill because the pieces can fall through. Koreans usually use a grill that have smaller openings.
  • If using a standard American style grill, you can put a piece of tin foil and poke holes into it with a fork so some direct heat can come through.

### Tips: - **Use high-quality pork belly:** The quality of the pork belly will greatly impact the flavor of the dish. Look for pork belly that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking. - **Slice the pork belly thinly:** This will help the meat to cook evenly and quickly. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick. - **Marinate the pork belly overnight:** This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat and result in a more flavorful dish. - **Use a hot grill or pan:** This will help to sear the meat and create a nice crust. - **Cook the pork belly until it is slightly charred:** This will give the dish a smoky flavor and help to tenderize the meat. - **Serve the daeji bulgogi with a variety of side dishes:** This could include rice, lettuce wraps, kimchi, and ssamjang sauce. ### Conclusion: Daeji bulgogi is a delicious and easy-to-make Korean dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can create a flavorful and authentic daeji bulgogi that will impress your family and friends.
