DAEJI BULGOGI SCALLION PANCAKE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• To make the pork: In a medium bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, gochugaru, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and scallions. Place pork in bowl and toss until well coated in marinade. Cover bowl, place in refrigerator, and let marinate four hours to overnight.
• To make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, gochujang, lime juice, and sesame oil. Transfer to an airtight container and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
• To make the scallion pancakes: Place flour in the workbowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. With the processor running, drizzle in water and process for 15 seconds. If dough does not come together, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a solid ball forms. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Cover dough with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Divide dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a smooth ball. Working one ball at a time, roll out into a circle roughly 8-inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface. Paint a layer of sesame oil over surface of dough using a pastry brush, sprinkle with salt, then roll closed like a jelly roll. Starting at one end, twist the roll up into a spiral and tuck end of dough underneath. Re-roll dough into an 8-inch circle, brush again with sesame oil, and sprinkle lightly with sliced scallions. Repeat process of rolling closed like a jelly roll and twisting into a spiral. Roll dough out into a 8-inch disk. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Place dough on hot side of grill and cook until crisp and lightly charred, about 1-2 minutes. Flip dough over and continue to cook until second side slightly crisps and chars, about 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and cover with kitchen towel.
• Place marinated pork on hot side of grill and cook until lightly charred and cooked through, flipping meat occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer pork to a platter or bowl.
• To make the quesadillas: Spread a layer of pork out on two of the scallion pancakes. Top with cheese, corn, cilantro, and remaining scallion pancake. Place assembled quesadillas on cool side of grill, cover, and cook until cheese has completely melted, about 5 minutes. Transfer quesadillas to a cutting board or plate, cut into quarters, and serve immediately with sauce.

BULGOGI SCALLION PANCAKE-ADILLAS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a plastic zipper-lock bag, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, scallions, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the sliced beef and close the bag, squeezing out any excess air. Shake well and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours, turning bag occasionally to redistribute marinade.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and cook until browned all over. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Prepare the Extra-Flaky Scallion Pancakes and set them aside on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
• Top 2 of the 4 scallion pancakes with bulgogi meat and cheese, and leave the other 2 bare. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then put 1 topped scallion pancake in the pan. Top with a bare scallion pancake to close.
• Let cook until the cheese begins to melt and the bottom pancake has crisped up and browned. Flip and cook on the second side until all of the cheese is melted and the bottom has browned. Remove from heat, set aside, and repeat to make the second quesadilla.
• Drizzle the quesadillas with additional gochujang, if desired, and top with scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately.
