Super Easy Soy Sauce Marinade for Delicious Pork Bulgogi
Introducing a simple and delicious pork bulgogi recipe you can easily make at home. The sweet and savory soy sauce marinade seeps into the meat, making it perfect as a side dish for rice or a great appetizer! Enjoy it generously with plenty of vegetables.
Main Ingredients
- 600g Pork Shoulder (or similar cut)
- 1/2 Green Onion (Scallion)
- 1/2 Onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the onion and cut the green onion diagonally into bite-sized pieces. Prepping the vegetables beforehand makes marinating much easier.
Step 2
In a large bowl, place the sliced pork shoulder. Add the marinade ingredients: 8 Tbsp soy sauce, 6 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well with your hands, ensuring the pork is evenly coated with the marinade. For an even richer flavor, let it marinate for about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Add the pre-sliced onion and green onion to the marinated pork. Gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the vegetables. Mixing the vegetables with the meat now will help them release moisture during cooking, resulting in a juicier dish.
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium heat and add the marinated pork and vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is nicely browned and the sauce has thickened. Be careful not to burn the meat. Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds for an extra nutty flavor and appealing look. Serve hot over steamed rice and enjoy!
