Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Welcome! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for Pork Bulgogi (Dwaeji Bulgogi) that you can easily make at home to impress your family and friends. This dish is known for its tender pork marinated in a savory-sweet sauce, making it a fantastic side dish for any meal. Let’s get started!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the onion into strips. Cut the green onions and chili peppers diagonally. (If you enjoy a spicy kick, use chili peppers like jalapeños; for a pop of color, red bell peppers are a great addition.) Now, let’s create the flavorful marinade! In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup plum extract (or syrup), 1 tablespoon of oligosaccharide, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined. This creates a perfectly balanced sweet and savory sauce!
Step 3
Place the thinly sliced pork into the bowl with the marinade. Use your hands to gently massage the marinade into the pork, ensuring every piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for 15 to 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, resulting in a much more delicious and tender dish.
Step 4
While the pork is marinating, add the sliced onions to the bowl with the pork. Gently toss them together. The onions will caramelize and add a natural sweetness as they cook, enhancing the overall flavor of the bulgogi.
Step 5
Now it’s time to cook! Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the marinated pork and onions. Stir-fry until the pork is almost cooked through and begins to brown slightly. Once the pork is nearly done, toss in the sliced green onions and chili peppers. Cooking over medium heat helps prevent burning and ensures the pork cooks evenly.
Step 6
Continue to stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the flavors to meld together beautifully. The sauce should thicken slightly and coat the ingredients with a glossy sheen. Once everything is cooked and the sauce is well-absorbed, turn off the heat. Your delicious Pork Bulgogi is ready to be served! It’s especially wonderful served hot over a bowl of steamed rice. Enjoy your cooking and bon appétit!
