Korean Beef Bulgogi Recipe

soy sauce

tbsp rice vinegar

ginger,

garlic

tsp Sriracha sauce

tsp sugar

tsp sesame oil

scallions,

Skirt steak or flank steak

tbsp Toasted sesame seeds

In a medium bowl mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, Sriracha, sugar, sesame oil, and white part of scallions. Whisk together until well blended.

Add steak to marinade covering both sides of steak. Marinade for 6 hours prior to grilling in the refrigerator. Skirt steak will be more tender the longer it&#039;s marinated. Overnight is great but, no longer than 24 hours.

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Remove steak from marinade and reserve about ¼ cup of marinade.

Oil the grill rack, then grill steak for 5 minutes on the first side. Flip over and cook for additional 5 minutes on the other side. Grill for 10 minutes total.

Transfer steak to cutting board or platter and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Thinly slice across the grain.

While steak is resting heat ¼ cup of leftover marinade either on the stovetop or in the microwave. Be sure to bring it to a boil.

Drizzle heated marinade over the top of sliced steak. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and green part of scallions for garnish and serve.

Sweet and easy to make, this Bulgogi Marinade recipe is perfect for marinating beef, chicken, or pork. It takes just a minute to whip up using simple ingredients!

Bulgogi Marinade

Tablespoons maple syrup (or equal parts brown sugar

Tablespoons sesame oil

pear

green onions (thinly sliced)

garlic (minced

In a bowl or dish large enough to fit the meat you plan on marinating, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, grated pear, green onions, and garlic.

marinate

Add meat to the marinade and marinate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight. Don&#39;t marinate for longer than 2 days.

This Air Fryer Sweet Chili Tofu is an easy hands-off way to cook and prepare tofu. The tofu is sliced halfway through in a criss-cross pattern to allow the sauces to seep through the cuts. The tofu is best left to marinate overnight to absorb the flavors from a sweet and spicy sauce that will thicken into an almost glaze-like consistency that’ll coat the tofu after cooking.

You can enjoy this tofu with rice, noodles, in wraps, or even with salads!

Air Fryer Sweet Chili Tofu

lb extra firm tofu (, pressed (see notes))

tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)

water

soy sauce (adjust

mushroom

tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce (adjust

tbsp maple syrup

tbsp sesame oil

black epper

rice

Sesame seeds

green onions

If you’re using extra firm tofu that’s already been pressed, feel free to skip to step 2. See notes for some tofu tips.

Press the tofu to drain out any excess water. I like to press mine by wrapping it in a towel and placing a few heavy chopping boards on top.

Meanwhile, prepare the marinade by mixing it together in a bowl. Taste the marinade and feel free to adjust it according to your desired taste

Once the tofu has been drained and pressed, place it on a chopping board. With a sharp knife, slice the tofu into half to create 1-inch thick slabs. I ended up with 2 one-inch thick slabs.

Afterwards, cut diagonal lines halfway through the tofu.

Be careful not to cut all the way through so the tofu stays intact. Repeat this in another direction until you have a criss-cross pattern on your tofu.

Place the tofu in a container. Pour over the marinade. Scoop the excess sauces over the tofu and carefully open up the cuts to allow the sauce to seep through.

Cover the container. Allow the tofu to marinate for at least 1 hour, but it’s best overnight.

After marinating, remove the tofu from the container unless you’re baking it in the dish.

COOKING

For air-frying, I lined my air-fryer basket with parchment paper so the liquids don’t seep through the basket holes (mine has a metal layer before the actual base/floor of the basket).

Place the tofu on the air-fryer and scoop the leftover marinate to pour over the tofu.

Allow to air-fry for 12-15 minutes or more at 180C/350F or until the top of the tofu is browned and slightly charred from the sugars in the marinade. The sauce will also slightly thicken from the sugars.

Don’t discard the marinade since you can brush or scoop this over the cooked tofu for extra sauce and juiciness.

Serve and enjoy hot! I enjoyed mine with some steamed rice and topped it with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. You can also enjoy this cold if desired.

AIR-FRYING THE TOFU

If baking in the tofu, you can place the tofu on a lined baking dish or tray and bake for 25-30 minutes at 180C/350F or until the top of the tofu is browned and the sauce has slightly thickened from the sugars.

Serve and enjoy!

BAKING THE TOFU

So good!  I cubed the tofu and it was delicious.  Will definitely make again.  All your recipes are so good!!

This was a hit with the family! Seeing some of the other reviews, I decreased the air frying duration and the duration it was cooked in the sauce. It was still saucy enough to go well with some rice.

P.S. I really appreciate all the recipes you have shared! I have been so happy with the results I have seen and the plethora of ways tofu can be used. Huge kudos to you, Jeeca :)

I love this recipe!!! Very satisfying. I like to add more gochujang for a kick.
