Cooking tips
- Korean ginger is much stronger in aroma and spiciness than Japanese ginger, so use only about one-third of the amount specified in typical Japanese recipes to avoid an overpowering flavor.
- It's best to use 'Mirin' or 'Mihyang' for cooking wine, which contain sweetness and alcohol. If unavailable, Cheongju or Cheongha can be substituted.
- Using thinly sliced pork leg meat for bulgogi allows the sauce to penetrate quickly and is a cost-effective option. If the meat is thick, slice it thinly.
- Wrapping the pork in crisp shredded cabbage with a little mayonnaise offers a rich and savory flavor reminiscent of local restaurants.

- Those who want to make a fantastic main side dish or snack with cost-effective pork leg meat.
