Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- pork shoulder for bulgogi 400g
- sugar 2 tablespoons
- gochujang 1 large spoon
- doenjang 1/3 teaspoon
- light soy sauce 1 tablespoon
- minced garlic 1 large spoon
- chicken stock 1/3 teaspoon

Recipe 🍳
- Cut the pork shoulder for bulgogi into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the pork with sugar, gochujang, doenjang, light soy sauce, minced garlic, chicken stock, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper powder until evenly coated.
- Heat 4~5 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over high heat until fully heated.
- Add the marinated pork and cook over high heat so the exterior seasoning sizzles like frying in oil.
- Once the pork is partially cooked, add the sliced cabbage, onion, and green onion.
- Stir-fry quickly over high heat just until the vegetables barely wilt—avoid releasing moisture.
- Before turning off the heat, use a torch to apply direct grill flavor to the surface of the meat.
- Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
- Cut pork into bite-sized pieces and mix with gochujang, doenjang, and other seasonings.
- Stir-fry the marinated pork in a generously oiled pan like frying, then quickly add vegetables.
- Apply grill flavor with a torch and finish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
Cooking tips 💡
- Adding a small amount of doenjang and chicken stock enhances depth and savory richness.
- After adding vegetables, avoid prolonged cooking—quickly stir-fry over high heat to achieve a dry, crispy grilled texture.
- Without a torch, heat the pan extremely hot and lightly char the bottom side of the meat for a similar smoky flavor.
