GaKaye said:When we were in Korea in the early 70s, the restaurants used to serve what they called Bulgogi, which is actually the Korean word for beef, if I'm not mistaken. It was marinated and brought to your table raw, where you would cook it on a charcoal brazier which was in the middle of the table. Sooooo good! I have never been able to replicate the flavor. Your recipe sounds good, but it's got way too many ingredients in it to be what I remember. Of course, after almost 40 years, my memory might be a bit dim..... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
My sister-in-law is Korean. Here's how she makes the Bulgogi marinade:
- 3/4 c. soy sauce
- 1 tsp. sesame seeds
- 2-3 tablespoons of sesame oil (you can substitute another oil if needed)
- 2-3 tablespoons of sugar (don't use a sugar substitute)
- garlic (she uses a lot)
- 1 green onion chopped fine (include the green stalk)
Pour over the meat and put in the refrig. until ready to use.
It tastes best on a BBQ grill, but you can do it in the oven. Don't pan fry it.
