15 Minute Dwaeji Bulgogi 돼지불고기 (Spicy Pork)
Make dwaeji bulgogi in 15 minutes! This Korean pork dish is marinated in a savory-sweet-spicy sauce, then stir fried and served with rice or lettuce wraps.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder or pork belly
- 1/2 small onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp oil
Marinade
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp gochugaru
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 3 tbsp extra spicy gochujang or mild gochujang
- 2-3 tbsp brown sugar adjust sweetness to your liking
- 4 crushed garlic cloves
- 1 tsp crushed ginger optional
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Garnish
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 chopped green onion
For lettuce wraps (ssam)
- red leaf lettuce
- perilla leaves
- jalapenos
- ssamjang
Instructions
- If you're going to eat the dwaeji bulgogi as lettuce wraps (highly recommend), wash and prepare all your veggies first. My ssamjang recipe is really good with this!
- Mix together all of the marinade ingredients
- Add the thinly sliced pork shoulder and sliced onions and mix thoroughly with the marinade. Since the pork shoulder is thin, you do not need to wait. You can start grilling or pan frying it right away.
- On medium high heat, add oil to a large non stick pan. Add the pork and spread evenly. Keep the heat on medium high and turn the pork over after 2-3 minutes.
- Continue cooking the other side, making sure it develops a nice glaze and slight char but do not burn it. Adjust the heat if needed.
- Continuously stir/toss the pork around so that it doesn't burn, cooking until it is shiny and slightly charred all over. Total cooking time should be less than 10 minutes.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
- Enjoy with a bowl of rice, or make lettuce wraps. I like mine with red leaf lettuce, perilla leaves, jalapenos slices, and a little ssamjang.
