Dweji Bulgogi Recipes

SPICY PORK BULGOGI

Steps:

• Thinly sliced pieces from the neck, shoulder or hind leg (ham area) are used for pork bulgogi. The cut I bought from my local market is from the neck (collar butt) and it's called moksal (목살) in Korean.
• Make the marinade by mixing all of the ingredients above.
• Mix the pork slices and the sauce together and marinate for at least 15 min. or more the better. You can marinate pork bulgogi in the fridge for up to a day.
• The best way to cook pork bulgogi is to BBQ it over a grill. But it's not easy to just directly cook them over the conventional American BBQ grill because the pieces can fall through. Koreans usually use a grill that have smaller openings.
• If using a standard American style grill, you can put a piece of tin foil and poke holes into it with a fork so some direct heat can come through.

Steps:

• Combine the gochujang, sesame oil, gochugaru, mirin, soy sauce, sugar and garlic in a large bowl. Mix in the pork belly until coated on all sides. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Drain the excess marinade from the pork. Cook the pork in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, flipping once, until cooked through and nicely charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Discard excess oil and wipe the skillet dry to cook next batch.
• Serve the pork with rice, lettuce, perilla leaves, ssamjang, scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
