Recipe Bulgogi Quail Food

BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)

Steps:

• Blend the marinade ingredients in a mixer or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
• Place the thinly sliced meat in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it. Mix them well together while gently massaging the meat with your hands. (Wearing a food prep glove is very handy here!)Add the sesame oil and mix it into the meat. (I prefer adding the sesame oil separately as opposed to mixing it in the marinade sauce. I read somewhere that the oil can prevent the other sauce getting absorbed effectively into the meat.)Cover the bowl with cling wrap (or move the marinated meat into a glass container with a lid) and marinate the meat for at least 4 hours in the fridge. (If you have more time, you can also marinate it overnight to deepen the flavour even more).
• Preheat a skillet / bbq grill on medium high heat until well heated. Add the cooking oil and spread it well. Add the meat (and vegetables) and cook it on medium high to high heat for 3 to 5 mins (until the meat and vegetables cook to your desired doneness). Toss in the sesame seeds and stir them quickly.
• Serve the bulgogi with steamed rice and other Korean side dishes. (refer above for more tips)

KOREAN BEEF BULGOGI

Steps:

• Wrap steak in plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Unwrap and slice across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. In a medium bowl, combine pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and gochujang. In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine soy sauce mixture and steak; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.* Working in batches, add steak to the grill pan in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until charred and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and steak. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

BULGOGI

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine the beef, sugar and pear (if using) thoroughly, and leave to sit for 30 mins at room temperature. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil, the garlic, ginger and sesame seeds to make a marinade, and set aside.
• When the beef is ready, squeeze out any excess sugary liquid, then add the beef to the marinade. Toss to coat, cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 mins. Can be marinated for longer, or left overnight in the fridge.
• In a large frying pan or wok, heat the remaining vegetable oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 6-8 mins until softened. Add the mushrooms and carrots, and cook for 5 mins until slightly softened. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the beef and marinade, and cook for 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the chives and sesame seeds.

• Heat the remaining sesame oil in a large wok or frying pan until very hot. Add the onion and stir-fry for a few mins. Add the beef and the marinade, stirring constantly until it's cooked through, about 5 mins. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve with rice and chopped spring onions.

BULGOGI (KOREAN BARBECUED BEEF)

Steps:

• Score the meat, if necessary, and place between two pieces of plastic wrap, pound lightly with meat pounder, lightly, to tenderize. Slice the meat on the diagonal into thin strips. Place the meat in a shallow non-reactive baking dish. In a large bowl combine the marinade ingredients and pour them over the meat, mixing well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Preheat the grill. Remove the meat from the marinade. Over high heat grill for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until meat is nicely browned. Alternately, the meat may be cooked in a very hot frying pan. Wrap a few pieces of beef in a lettuce leaf and all or any of the garnishes. Eat at once.;

BULGOGI JEONGOL

Steps:

• For the dasima broth: Combine the dasima and 8 cups cold water in a large pot. Let sit until the dasima swells until doubled in size and the water turns slightly green-yellow, about 30 minutes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil until the dasima starts to foam around the sides, 1 to 3 minutes. Discard the dasima, then add the radish and simmer until the radish is soft enough to be easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the guk-ganjang and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Discard the radish; you should have about 4 cups broth. Set aside.
• For the bulgogi: Whisk the soy sauce, sugar, mirin, sesame oil, garlic and few grinds of black pepper together in a large bowl until combined and most of the sugar is dissolved. Add the beef to the marinade and toss until the beef is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.
• For the assembly: Soak the dangmyeon noodles in a large bowl of lukewarm to warm water until they bend around your hands nicely when lifted, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
• To assemble the dish, place the onion over the bottom of a 12-inch high-sided skillet or shallow pot with a lid. Follow with the soaked dangmyeon noodles. Then add as much or little of the bulgogi, oyster mushrooms, shiitakes, tofu, enoki, carrot, crown daisy, minari, cabbage and scallions as you like to the pot (pack the ingredients in as the mushrooms will cook down). Carefully pour the prepared dasima broth in; you can start off with 3 cups or add all 4 cups of the both for a soupier version.
• Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil over high heat and let cook until the vegetables are tender and cooked through and the bulgogi turns brown, 2 to 4 minutes. (If you want more broth, add some water and season with salt.) Serve immediately with rice on the side. And don't forget to dig down to the dangmyeon noodles on the bottom!
