korean barbecue

In Korea, bulgogi is eaten with your hands, so take your lettuce, wrap up the beef and dig in!

Bulgogi

beef sizzle steaks, halved crossways

milliliters (1/4 cup) tamari (wheat-free soy sauce)

(1/4 cup) white sugar

tbsp rice wine vinegar

garlic cloves, finely chopped

white pepper

nashi, peeled, cored, coarsely chopped

red onion,

tbsp sesame oil

butter lettuce, leaves

shallots, trimmed, thinly sliced

red capsicum,

This delicious barbecue  is very easy to do even more so if you use the marinade powder (that&#039;s where I &quot;discovered&quot; this delicious Korean dish), but making it from scratch using a mini food processor or blender makes it almost as easy as opening a packet of  marinade mix.

Dwaeji Galbi <br>(Korean Pork BBQ)

2kg (4.5 lb) Boston butt

tbsp neutral-tasting oil, plus more if needed

yellow onions,

Generous pinch of toasted sesame seeds, to garnish

yellow onion

green onions (100 grams),

Korean pear (250 grams) (or apple)

red apple (300 grams)

(360 milliliters) water

mirin

2.5 tbsp oyster sauce

corn syrup

tbsp toasted sesame oil

tbsp minced garlic

tbsp grated ginger

tsp black pepper

dark brown sugar (or white sugar)

tsp MSG (optional)

Lettuce

Korean dipping sauce (ssamjang)

Roughly chop the onion and green onions. Peel and chop the pear and apple. Take out the core. Throw everything in a blender.

Add 1.5 cups (360ml) of water. Blend it up until nice and smooth. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Add the soy sauce, mirin, oyster sauce, corn syrup, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, black pepper, dark soy sauce, sugar, and MSG (if using). Give it a good mix until the sugar is dissolved. 

Cut the pork into slices, about 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) in thickness. Gently score them on both sides. To the marinade, add the pork pieces, one by one, and gently move them around so that it can coat our pork beautifully. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 12 hours.

Marinate Pork

In a pan, add a splash of oil, and wipe off the excess. Turn on the heat to medium-high. Once it gets nice and hot, add 2 or 3 pieces of your pork pieces. Cook for 5-6 minutes, turning the pork pieces every 30 seconds. (If it’s still about to burn, you can add a little bit more marinade or pour in some water. No problem at all!)

While that’s going, using your tongs and scissors, cut it into bite-sized pieces. Once it’s cooked through, remove from the pan and set aside. 

Cook Galbi

Thinly slice the onions and green onions.

Get yourself a cast iron pan and heat it over medium heat. Add a little bit of oil and sliced onions. Wait until you get a sizzle. Once the onions soften up a little bit, place your beautifully cooked galbi.

Sprinkle on sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with a bowl of hot rice, lettuce, and ssamjang. Enjoy~!

Plate

Make your own ssamjang at home for your next KBBQ dinner. You&#39;ll be able to customize this nutty, savory, and mildly spicy dipping sauce by adjusting the fermented soybean sauce or spicy paste.

Ssamjang (Korean dipping sauce)

tbsp doenjang (fermented soybean paste)

½ tbsp gochujang (add more if you like it spicy)

tbsp chopped onion

tsp sesame oil

tsp rice syrup

garlic (chopped)

sesame seeds

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients.

Stir to thoroghly mix. Taste and adjust based on your preference. For more saltiness, add more doenjang. For more heat, add more gochujang. For more sweetness, add more rice syrup or honey.

Serve immediately.

Everything you need for a full course vegan Korean BBQ, including crispy BBQ tofu, instant kimchi, cucumber salad, and spring rolls!

Vegan Korean BBQ

16-oz block firm tofu (453 g)

cornstarch (30 g)

Tbsp oil (30 mL)

salt

Kalbi Sauce (120 g)

Napa cabbage

Kimchi Hot Sauce (120 g)

Cucumber Salad (click for recipe)

Vegan Spring Rolls

Press Tofu: Drain the tofu and wrap in a few layers of paper towels. Place something heavy (like a cast iron skillet) on top and let sit for 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Instant Kimchi: Meanwhile, finely shred the cabbage and stir together with Kimchi Hot Sauce (5 minutes).

Cucumber Salad: Make cucumber salad using this recipe (15 minutes).

Spring Rolls: Cook spring rolls according to instructions on the package (for ease, I like to microwave them then transfer to the stove to make them crispy).

Coat Tofu: Cut tofu into bite-sized blocks. In a bowl, toss tofu together with cornstarch until evenly coated.

Cook Tofu: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with salt, then stir in Kalbi Sauce.
