Korean Bulgogi is thinly sliced beef marinated in a savory-sweet blend of soy sauce, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and grated onion, then quickly cooked for tender, caramelized bites. Topped with green onion and sesame seeds, it delivers a perfect balance of umami and sweetness. Ideal for lettuce wraps or rice bowls, it’s a fast and delicious meal.
