Pork Mince Bulgogi
Pork Mince Bulgogi is a delightful twist on the traditional Korean dish, typically made with beef. This version utilizes pork mince to create a succulent, richly flavored dish that melds the sweetness of marinated pork with the boldness of Korean spices. Enhanced with garlic, ginger, and soy, it brings a comforting and aromatic experience to the table, perfect for casual dining or festive occasions.
Ingredients
500 g ground pork (minced pork) - choose organic, if available
¼ cup soy sauce - low sodium recommended
2 tbsp brown sugar - Packed
3 tbsp sesame oil
4 cloves garlic - minced
2 tsp ginger - fresh, grated
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp red pepper flakes - adjust to taste
4 stalks spring onions - thinly sliced, for garnish
2 tbsp sesame seeds - toasted, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pork mince, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the pork is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork mince and spread it out evenly across the skillet. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes to develop a slight caramelization.
- Began to break apart the pork mince with a spatula, continuing to cook and stir until fully cooked and browned, about 5-7 more minutes. The aroma should be sweet and savory, with a slight smokiness from the caramelization.
- Once cooked through, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle with sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Notes
For an extra layer of texture, consider adding finely chopped water chestnuts for a subtle crunch.
