Instructions

Prepare the Bulgogi Marinade:

1. Mix the Marinade:
   • In a large bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, black pepper, sesame seeds, and grated pear. The pear helps tenderize the meat.
2. Marinate the Beef:
   • Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and mix well. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in.

Prepare the Vegetables:

1. Slice the Vegetables:
   • Slice the onion and carrot thinly, and cut the green onion diagonally. These vegetables add flavor and color to the dish.
2. Combine with Beef:
   • Mix the sliced vegetables with the marinated beef.

Cook the Bulgogi:

1. Heat the Pan:
   • Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat.
2. Stir-Fry:
   • Add the marinated beef and vegetables to the pan and stir-fry until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender.

Prepare the Rice Bowl:

1. Cook the Rice:
   • Cook the rice according to your preference. Warm rice is ideal for this dish.
2. Assemble the Bowl:
   • Place the rice in bowls. Top with shredded lettuce and cooked bulgogi. Add a dollop of gochujang and drizzle with sesame oil.
3. Garnish:
   • Sprinkle crumbled seaweed on top for extra flavor and texture.

Additional Tips

1. Add Various Vegetables:
   • Enhance the nutrition by adding mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers. The mix of vegetables adds richness to the dish.
2. Use Tofu Instead of Meat:
   • For a vegetarian version, substitute beef with tofu. Marinate the tofu in the same way to infuse it with flavor.
3. Increase Spiciness:
   • If you like it spicy, add more gochujang or include some sliced chili peppers.
4. Try Different Grains:
   • Substitute rice with quinoa, barley, or brown rice for a healthier alternative.
5. Use Leftover Bulgogi:
   • Leftover bulgogi can be used in various dishes like bulgogi kimbap, bulgogi salad, or bibimbap.
