Perfectly Seasoned Pork Bulgogi: An Easy Homemade Recipe
Craft a Delicious Pork Bulgogi at Home for a Wonderful Meal
Tender pork marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, combined with crisp vegetables, creates a dish that’s irresistible with rice. Make this beloved pork bulgogi easily and deliciously at home!
Main Ingredients- 600g Pork Shoulder (Pork Butt or Neck are also suitable!)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 600g of pork shoulder, our main ingredient. Pork shoulder has a good balance of fat and lean meat, offering great flavor. However, you can also use pork butt or neck to make a delicious pork bulgogi.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious marinade for your pork bulgogi! In a large bowl, combine 10 Tbsp soy sauce, 5 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 2 Tbsp white sugar, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1.5 Tbsp sesame oil for nutty aroma, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined. This golden ratio marinade ensures a foolproof result!
Step 3
Add the pork to the bowl with the prepared marinade. Gently massage the marinade into the meat with your hands, ensuring it coats every piece. If you’re short on time, you can cook it immediately. However, letting it marinate for about 10 minutes will allow the flavors to penetrate deeper, resulting in an even more delicious bulgogi.
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium heat and add the marinated pork. Since the marinade contains sugar, cooking over very high heat can cause it to burn quickly. It’s important to stir-fry the pork over medium heat, being careful not to let it scorch.
Step 5
Once the pork is partially cooked, add thinly sliced half onion and half scallion to the pan and continue to stir-fry. Feel free to add any leftover vegetables you have in your refrigerator, such as carrots, mushrooms, or bell peppers, for added texture and flavor. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
Step 6
As a delicious aroma fills your kitchen, your perfectly cooked pork bulgogi is ready! Serve it over a bowl of hot steamed rice for an incredibly satisfying meal.
