chicken bulgogi

Dear friend, I do not know how to cook but my wife is a good cook. Have a very nice day.

Bulgogi means, literally, "fire meat", in other words, cooked over a fire, grilled or barbecued. It would not be strictly 'bulgogi' if it were fried (though some recipes use pan cooking)! The traditional recipes vary but all of them include slicing the meat thinly and marinading before cooking in a mixture of hot, sweet and sour ingredients which include a specific fermented sauce called Gochujang sauce. Some do not seem to slice the meat at all before cooking but most do and, of course, this means that the cooking time is very short and may often be done individually by the eaters at a table with a central barbecue. It is difficult to find specific, authentic recipes in English but here is one by a Canadian writer: http://www.closetcooking.com/2010/02/dak-bulgogi-korean-bbq-chicken.html and here is a page describing the Korean barbecue method: http://www.easykoreanfood.com/Korean-Barbecue.html

Oh my - 24 hours ago, I wouldn't have had a clue what you're talking about. But, just tonight, I had the opportunity to enjoy chicken bulgogi and I have rarely enjoyed a meal as much as I did that one. While waiting for this response box to load, I happened to see Owlwings' response to you about this being cooked over a fire and what I ate definitely was cooked over a fire. All the meats were char-grilled and they were fantastic!! My dining companion had his made spicy, but mine was delicious, delicious and delicious!!! It was served along with rice glass noodles, white rice and one of the best salads I have ever eaten! But, as Owlwings said, it appears that it should be cooked on a barbecue grill as this restaurant did. Plus, it was obvious that they had marinated the meat before cooking because the flavor was just perfect! Good luck with your recipe!!
