Bulgogi (Korean Beef Barbecue) Recipe

Bulgogi, beef barbecue, is one of the most popular Korean dishes. It's usually made by soaking thin slices of beef in a sweet-salty marinade, then grilling. Let the sirloin steak marinate for about an hour so that it can absorb the dark sauce made from brown sugar, soy sauce, sweet rice wine, ginger, and garlic.

Seoul-ful Chicken with Minted Cucumbers Recipe

If you're eager to try kimchi, but don't have time to let the spicy condiment ferment for a week or so, try an adapted version of the sauce. Marinate chicken thighs for 30 minutes in a flavorful mixture of dark sesame oil, fresh ginger, honey, and cloves. Serve with a light, seasonal side, like sliced cucumber.

Korean Beef Rice Bowl Recipe

Traditional Korean dishes are served with rice, so prepare a dish with a rich sauce that will soak into the grains. This beef bowl calls for a marinade of soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, and Asian sesame oil. A similar sauce is made to drizzle over the flank steak after plating.

If you want vibrant Korean flavor, but don't have time for fermentation, make a short-cut recipe that packs all the flavor into a quick four-hour marinating time. You can also buy kimchi sauce at Asian markets. Simply pour over the salted cabbage and enjoy.

Korean Barbecue Wet Rub Recipe

Add Asian-inspired flavor to salmon, steaks, pork, dark-meat chicken, or any game bird with a simple, yet traditional five-ingredient rub. The rub works well on any meat or fish that are meaty enough to stand up to the week-long marinating time.
