This is the first dish that I learned to cook, and the dish that I enjoy cooking the most. I remember that I was asked to cook for one of the student group events during my freshman fall term. I had no idea how to cook at all, so I called my mom and asked her how to make bulgogi - to my dismay, she told me to put "enough soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil." After experimenting a number of times over the past few years, here is the finalized recipe:
Servings: 1-3
Prep time: 40+ min
Cook time: 10 min
Ingredients
1 lb beef chuck roast or sirloin sliced as thinly as possible
1 medium sized onion
1/2 bunch scallion
2 cloves of garlic
Canola oil
Sauce
75 ml soy sauce (you can use a little bit less soy sauce if you want it to be sweeter)
135 ml Coca Cola
1/4 cup sugar
3-4 tsp sesame oil
Directions
Prepare the vegetables by cutting the onion in half and then into thin slices, and scallion into 1-inch slices. Mince the garlic.
Try to drain any excess blood from the meat using kitchen towels. Hopefully the beef was cut very thinly!
Mix the sauce in a bowl. Make sure that the sugar is completely dissolved
In a large bowl, combine everything together, and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes (if you're in a hurry, you can cook it right away, but it tastes better when you let it marinate!)
Pour canola oil into a frying pan over high heat - heat the oil until it's hot
Place the marinated mix into the frying pan. Try not to pour in all the sauce from the marinade
Cook for about 5-10 minutes on medium - high heat, or until the meat is fully cooked. Then, remove from heat and serve
Enjoy! :)
