Steps
1. This is pork front shoulder. I prepared bulgogi-cut slices, and press them with a dry cloth or paper towels to remove the blood.
Cut into bite-sized lengths.
You can also use pork hind leg or neck shoulder.
2. In a bowl, add the meat and all the seasoning ingredients, then mix well.
3. Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes so the seasoning soaks in.
4. For vegetables, I simply prepared onion, large green onion, and chili peppers, but you can also prepare green cabbage or carrots.
Just slice them into suitable thickness and lengths.
5. Stir-fry the marinated meat in an oiled pan.
6. Once the meat is stir-fried until fully cooked...
7. Add the onion, and once it is halfway cooked...
8. Add the large green onion and chili peppers, and stir-fry until slightly wilted to finish.
Ppunwife's tips
- The meat tastes even better wrapped in lettuce leaves.
- If you season it a bit milder, it is also great as an appetizer with drinks.
FAQ
What cut of pork should I use?
Besides front shoulder, you can use any bulgogi-cut slices of your preferred pork cut, such as hind leg or neck shoulder.
What can I substitute if I don't have orange juice or green plum syrup?
You can use water in place of orange juice, and substitute green plum syrup with corn syrup or oligosaccharide syrup to make the seasoning.
Can I add other ingredients besides the basic vegetables?
Along with the basic onion, large green onion, and chili peppers, sliced green cabbage or carrots also go very well when stir-fried together.
