BULGOGI

Steps:

• Mix all Bulgogi Marinade ingredients well.
• Cut the pork belly into bite size pieces, about 2 inch length.
• Combine the meat, onion and scallions with the marinade and mix well. Marinate for at least an hour, or best overnight.

• Dish out and serve immediately with steamed rice.

KOREAN BULGOGI PORK

Steps:

• Prepare the pork tenderloin by cutting it into very thin slices. Place the meat in a ziploc bag. Set aside.
• In a bowl add the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, chili flakes, pear, sesame oil and brown sugar. Whisk everything together well. Pour the marinade over the pork, close the ziploc bag and shake it around a bit to make sure that the all the pork meat is covered in the marinade. Let it marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
• Add 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium high heat. Add half of the meat to the skillet and arrange it so that it's in a single layer. Cook it for about 3 minutes without touching the meat, or until the meat starts to brown, almost char, then turn it and cook for another 3 minutes until it's browned on both sides. Remove from skillet to a bowl and set aside.
• Add the remaining tbsp of vegetable oil and remaining meat along with remaining marinade. Repeat cooking the same as above.
• Serve over cooked rice or noodles and garnish with chopped green onions.

PORK BELLY BULGOGI

Steps:

• Mix together all of the ingredients except the pork, in a medium sized bowl. I use less soy sauce and a bit more of the wine instead.
• Add the pork and mix thoroughly, coating all sides. I found this easiest to do with my hands,.
• The original recipe did not specify, but I let it marinate for an hour at room temperature. If you want to let it marinate longer, refrigerate it.
• Preheat oven to 350 deg F (180 deg C).
• Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. I also lightly greased the foil.
• Distribute the pork pieces on the baking pan (I found that half the recipe fit perfectly on my jelly roll pan).
• Bake for 25-30 minutes until the meat is cooked and has started to brown.
• Remove from the oven.
• Finish off by browning for 3 to 5 minutes under the broiler or in a large skillet.
• Note1: the recipe did not specify the amount of sugar and I added about a tsp of brown sugar to half the quantity of pork, as that is what I had at hand.
• Note2: I served with leaf lettuce, although I think Boston lettuce leaves work better. I also served with a little sambal oelek on the side, as well as some Korean rice.
