Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the wire rack set over the grill grate.

DAEJI BULGOGI (SPICY KOREAN PORK BARBECUE)



Daeji Bulgogi (Spicy Korean Pork Barbecue) image

This is an awesome recipe. It comes together fairly quickly, perfect for a week night meal. It is quite spicy, with the addition of sambal olek and red pepper flakes. So if you don't want it too spicy, cut back a bit. I have also made this like a stir fry and it comes out great. It's originally from http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/daeji-bulgogi-spicy-korean-pork-barbecue-10000000429502/. It's become a part of our dinner rotation. The prep time includes having to thaw the pork then freeze for a bit to make cutting easier. Although i just skip this step and cut it after it's thawed. Doesn't make a difference.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork belly: Look for pork belly with a good amount of marbling, as this will result in a more flavorful and tender dish.
  • Slice the pork belly thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Marinate the pork belly for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Use a hot grill or pan: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the pork belly.
  • Cook the pork belly until it is cooked through: This will help to prevent it from becoming dry or tough.
  • Serve the pork belly with your favorite sides: Some popular options include rice, lettuce wraps, and kimchi.

Conclusion:

Daeji bulgogi is a delicious and easy-to-make Korean dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. It is a great way to enjoy pork belly and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a little bit of preparation, you can make this dish at home and impress your friends and family.
