Ingredients

Marinade:

  • 1 pound thinly sliced pork pork belly, shoulder or pork butt
  • 1½ tablespoon cooking wine sake or shaoxing
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon plum extract
  • 1 tablespoon gochugaru (korean red pepper powder) add 1-2 tbs more if you like more spicy
  • 1½ tablespoon gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 onion sliced

Saute:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 green onions chopped 3 inches lengthwise

Garnish:

  • 1 chili or jalapeno (optional) sliced
  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Start by prepping the aromatics! Slice 1 onions. Cut green onions in 3 inch lengthwise and mince garlic. Grate your ginger. Set all the aromatics aside. If you bought pork without it being sliced, this is a good time to slice the pork thinly ◡̈
  • Make your sauce by mixing 1.5 tablespoon cooking wine, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon plum extract, 1 tablespoon gochugaru, 1.5 tablespoon gochujang, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, 1 tablespoon water and ½ teaspoon sesame oil. Mix sauce well.
  • Add your sliced pork and onions in the sauce and make sure every slice is covered in sauce. If you have extra time, marinate for 15-30 minutes. If no time, proceed to step 4.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil on the pan and then add your sliced pork. When the pork is cooked and it has some crispy edges (takes 7-9 minutes ), add your sliced green onions. Mix together and turn off heat.
  • Garnish with sliced chilis and sesame seeds. Eat this pork bulgogi with lettuce or perilla leaves for the perfect ssam!
