Korean Bulgogi Bolognese image

In this recipe, Korean grilled barbecue meets Bolognese, the classic Italian meat sauce. Ground beef is simmered in a sauce that starts with a traditional base of sautéed onion, carrots and celery, to which scallions, garlic, ginger and soy sauce are added. As the sauce cooks, the flavors of the tomato paste and soy sauce meld, creating a deeply salty-sweet mixture, while the addition of chopped mushrooms provides depth and complexity. Be sure to use egg pasta here as the richness contrasts nicely with the sauce.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons safflower or canola oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped carrot
1 cup finely chopped celery
7 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons peeled, minced ginger
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pound ground beef
4 ounces white button mushrooms, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
3/4 cup finely chopped scallions
3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
Kosher salt and black pepper
12 ounces dried egg pasta (tagliatelle or pappardelle)
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 minutes. Add carrot and celery and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, ginger and tomato paste and cook until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes, lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning. Return heat to medium.
  • Add beef, mushrooms and 1/2 cup of the scallions and cook, stirring to break up the beef, until beef is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add soy sauce, sugar and 1/4 cup of water and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, 30 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup scallions and season with pepper.
  • As sauce cooks, make the pasta: Bring a large pot of well-salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain.
  • Divide pasta in bowls and top with Bolognese. Serve with Parmesan.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my bulgogi bolognese sauce turned out really bland.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less gochujang.
