Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing our fresh ingredients! For a dish that kids will enjoy, it’s best to use pork sliced thinly for bulgogi, as it tends to be more tender.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the flavorful marinade, the heart of this dish. In a large bowl, combine 7 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 1 Tbsp sugar, a generous 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 2 Tbsp plum extract. Finish with a pinch of black pepper and mix well. Your golden marinade is ready!
Step 3
Onions are key for adding a wonderful sweetness. If your onion is large, use about half. Slice it into bite-sized pieces that will cook nicely alongside the pork.
Step 4
Next, prepare the green onion for a fresh, aromatic touch. Slice it into pieces that are easy to eat and visually appealing.
Step 5
Place the thinly sliced bulgogi pork into a clean stainless steel bowl. Pour the prepared delicious marinade over the pork and gently mix with your hands. Ensure the marinade coats every piece of meat evenly for the best flavor.
Step 6
If you find that the amount is too much for one meal, you can portion half of the marinated pork into a zip-top bag and freeze it for later. Just remember to consume it within a reasonable time for optimal freshness. (Tip: Freeze only the marinated pork. When you cook it later, add the vegetables and 2 Tbsp of sesame oil.)
Step 7
Add the marinated pork along with the prepared onion and green onion to a frying pan. Finally, stir in 2 Tbsp of sesame oil for a rich, nutty aroma. Everything is set for cooking your delicious pork bulgogi!
Step 8
Stir-fry the ingredients in the pan until they are well combined and cooked through. Cooking over medium heat rather than high heat allows the flavors to meld beautifully and prevents burning.
Step 9
As you continue to cook over medium heat, a delicious natural sauce will form. Your wonderfully glazed pork bulgogi is ready! Time to plate this impressive dish beautifully for your children’s dinner.
Step 10
Serve your carefully prepared soy-glazed pork bulgogi attractively on a plate. It’s absolutely delightful served over a bowl of warm rice!
