Spicy Korean Pork Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

With this easy recipe, learn to make the popular dish daeji bulgogi or spicy korean pork. This is a twist on the delicious korean staple bulgogi. If you like your food with a lot of kick, daeji bulgogi won't disappoint. It combines sweet and heat with tender, thinly-sliced pork for a great combination. Daeji bulgogi isn't difficult to make. The dish is simply made of thinly sliced pork that is marinated in a spicy, chili pepper sauce, and then it is either grilled or pan-fried. This dish is very commonly cooked with other vegetables such as onions, zucchini, or peppers. When vegetables aren't cooked with it, daeji bulgogi is wrapped with rice in lettuce leaves, often with some kimchi added. It can be the centerpiece of a nutritious meal including protein and vegetables. Pork butt is best for this recipe, but if it isn't available at your grocery store, you can use loin for a leaner cut. You will make a spicy marinade using gochujang, which is a fermented korean red pepper paste.
