Korean Spicy Pork Bulgogi


Looks like I've developed a craving for Korean food!  Here's my first attempt at preparing Pork Bulgogi with this Pork Bulgogi marinade which is supposed to be not too spicy but yet we do find it to be quite spicy.  'Bul' in Korean means 'fire' and 'Gogi' is 'meat', so literally it means 'Fire meat'.  I didn't BBQ or grill to 'fire' the meat  and instead just pan-fry the overnight marinated bulgogi.  




This porky dish is delicious and just wonderful to go with plain white rice or lettuce wraps.


 Recipe for Korean Spicy Pork Bulgogi  (adapted from  'here'  with slight modification)

    Ingredients
  • 450 gm pork, thinly sliced
  • 2  Tbsp soya sauce
  • 2  Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2  Tbsp honey
  • 1  tsp sugar
  • 2.1/2  Tbsp Pork Bulgogi marinade
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 10 cloves garlic minced
  • 1  Tbsp chopped ginger
  • 3 to 4 stalks of spring onions cut into 2 inch lengths
  • Lightly toasted sesame seeds
Method
  1. Combine all the sauces and mix well.
  2. Add in the minced garlic and ginger.  Mix well.
  3. Add in the sliced pork, onions and spring onions, mix well.
  4. Cover with cling wrap and let chill in the fridge for 1 to 5 hours or preferably overnight.
  5. Saute the marinated meat in a pan with a bit oil, work in small batches.
  6. Serve hot with rice.

      I'm only into Korean costume drama, the modern ones, I find that all the male and female actors and actresses look alike, very hard to differentiate :)

      I thought it's difficult to DIY Korean food, but now that I've tried, it's not so difficult after all. If I can do it, so can you.... so much cheaper than eating in the Korean restaurants!

      I agree with you. The names are a tongue twister. You can find an assortment of these sauces in Aeon supermarket.

    Thank you Cheah! I think I might be able to make this on my own now that I have followed the links you have provided. I'm so excited! I hope Marion will give it a try but it sounds to spicy for her, lol...It's very sweet of you to lead me in the right direction. I'm off to watch that video:)

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Airfried Shrimp Paste Chicken ~ 空气炸锅 虾酱鸡

Since I have recently acquired an Air Fryer I wanted to make use of it to try various recipes.  I like to use the Air Fryer as it makes clean-up very much easier and I don't have to deal with a greasy kitchen when deep frying in a pot of oil or even panfry.  Also it's more healthy as only a little oil is used and the chicken is not submerged in oil.  The crust of the Airfried Shrimp Paste Chicken is crackly and tasty and the meat is juicy too.  I kept them in the Air Fryer for about half an hour before serving and the crust was still crispy. Airfried Shrimp Paste Chicken ~空气炸锅 虾酱鸡   Ingredients 460 gm from 2 deboned whole leg of chicken (you can use bone-in chicken too) Seasoning for chicken 3/4 Tbsp shrimp paste 1 Tbsp shaoxing wine 1/2 Tbsp sugar 1/2Tbsp sesame oil 1/4 Tbsp oyster sauce A dash of white pepper Flour mixture 1/2 cup plain flour 1/2 Tbsp cornflour (helps to make the chicken skin crispy) 1/2 tsp baking powder (helps to dry out moisture before...
