Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ⅛ cup dark brown sugar packed
  • ⅛ cup mirin
  • ⅛ cup gochujang optional if you like spicy
  • 3 garlic peeled, cloves
  • ½ kiwi skin removed, ripe
  • ¼ onion peeled, small
  • ½ tablespoon sesame oil
  • ⅛ black pepper
  • 1 pound pork shoulder thinly sliced, or butt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a blender, toss together the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, gochujang (if using), garlic, kiwi, onion, sesame oil, & pepper.
  2. Transfer ingredients to an airtight container or Ziplock bag, then add in thinly sliced meat. Massage the marinade into the pork and allow it to marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight in the fridge.
  3. Heat a large pan or wok on medium-high heat. Add a little oil, then add bulgogi meat. Spread meat into a single layer along the pan and allow it to cook for 3-5 minutes, or until meat is cooked through & starting to caramelize, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat & set aside
  5. Heat a large pan or wok on medium-high heat. Add a little oil, then add bulgogi meat. Spread meat into a single layer along the pan and allow it to cook for 5-10 minutes, or until meat is cooked through & starting to caramelize, stirring frequently.
  6. Remove from heat & serve it with rice and/or veggies & enjoy!

Notes

  • Soy Sauce: Regular soy sauce (not light/low-sodium soy sauce) is needed for the saltiness in the marinade.
  • Mirin: This is a Korean cooking wine that amplifies the flavors of the marinade - I highly recommend grabbing it! You can find it at any local Asian or Korean grocery store, or online.
  • Gochujang: This fermented Korean chili paste adds a sweetness & chili flavor. It also comes in various spice levels so you can choose according to your tastebuds!
  • Kiwi: Instead of Asian pears, kiwis (golden or green) is a great & convenient alternative. Keep in mind though that kiwis are VERY acidic though so 1/2 kiwi is good for up to 3 pounds.
