Spicy Pork Bulgogi (Original Korean Recipe)

• This Pork recipe Makes 4 servings.
• This dish can be made sweet or spicy, red pepper paste adds the heat.

Ingredients:

1 pound of Pork (diced)
3 Onions (diced)
5 Scallions (chopped) green onion
1 clove Garlic (chopped)
1 tablespoon Ginger (powder)
6 tablespoons Sugar (liquid or granular) or honey garlic sauce
10 Mushrooms (chopped)
1 Teaspoon Korean hot pepper paste (for heat as desired)
1 tablespoon Sesame seed oil
1 tablespoon Roasted Sesame seeds
1 teaspoon Salt

Preparation:

Mix pork, garlic, Soya sauce, ginger, onion as well as mushrooms in a large bowl or pot.  Then add sugar and remaining ingredients while mixing.  Let the pork bulgogi mixture sit for 20 – 30 minutes or longer (as a marinade).

Add half a cup of water to heated pan, and then incorporate the above pork Bulgogi mix.  Sauté on high heat.  Dish is done when pork is cooked, vegetables are soft, and all water has evaporated (add water if more sauce is desired).  Do not over-cook the pork, it will get tougher the longer you cook it.

Serve with fresh salad leaves, sticky rice, and some fresh julienne vegetables. Use the salad leaf as a taco shell and put into it rice, beef, and fresh vegetables.  Roll the salad leaf into a bite size roll and eat (traditional and recommended).  Or serve on a bed of rice or as a topping for bread.  Serve as finger foods.  Pork bulgogi also go well with roasted potatoes, vegetables, or assorted salad.

Spicy, tender, and fantastic. Adjust heat with Pepper paste amount.

*** The longer you marinade the more flavor the pork absorbs ***

*** Great to serve side by side with sweet beef bulgogi ***

*** Both recipes – Korean Beef and Pork, can be made sweet or Spicy ***

*** Use caution when adding the Red pepper paste, its very hot ***
