Spicy Soybean Sprout BulGoGi (콩불고기, KongBulGoGi) | Aeri's Kitchen

Steps

1. 1Prepare about 1 lb of shaved beef or pork belly (3 cups). Normally, we use this thinly sliced pork belly called DaePaeSamGyeopSal (대패 삼겹살) in Korean. It is up to you; both will taste great.
2. 2To marinate the meat, mix all the ingredients for the sauce.
3. 3Add the meat and only ⅔ of the sauce mixture into a mixing bowl. Mix it all together. Set it aside while you are preparing the other vegetable ingredients.
4. 4Chop ½ cup onion, ½ cup green onions, ¼ cup green & red hot peppers, and ½ cup perilla leaves as shown in the picture.
5. 5We need 1 pack, or about 3 cups worth, of soybean sprouts. Remove any bad parts and wash them well.
6. 6Put all the soybean sprouts in a wok or large pan.
7. 7Then, put the marinated meat and onion on top of the soybean sprouts. Here, add the rest of the sauce into the wok. Cover it with a lid and let it cook for about 6 minutes on medium-high.
8. 8After 6 minutes, you will see some of the liquid came out from the soybean sprouts. Stir it to mix everything. Cover it again and cook for another 6 minutes on medium-high.
9. 9After 6 minutes, the beef and the soybean sprouts will be almost done cooking. Now, add the rest of the chopped vegetables, mix them all together, and cook for 3 more minutes without the lid.
10. 10Every now and then, stir it. Depending on your tastes, you can increase the amount of the soybean sprouts and reduce the amount of the meat.
11. 11When it is done cooking, sprinkle about 2 tsp of sesame seeds on top of everything.
