Best Western Besides kimchi
(pickled vegetables), bulgogi
(barbecued beef) is perhaps one of
the most popular Korean foods in
the West. A soy and herbal marinade
is the key to this tasty beef dish,
but like many Asian marinades, only
a small amount of liquid is used to
flavor the meat. Grilled over a
hibachi or in a grill pan, or
stir-fried, until crisp (or to
preferred doneness), the beef is
wrapped in a tender lettuce leaf
and may be eaten with a dab of
pungent fermented Korean bean
paste. You will find thinly sliced
beef, chicken, or pork in Japanese,
Korean, and Chinese butcher shops.
If you do not have these near you,
ask your local butcher if he or she
can slice the meat for you. If not,
buy a large chunk and place it in
the freezer for forty-five minutes
to facilitate the slicing. Slice
against the grain while the meat is
still frozen.
