  • Season the meat about 30 minutes before cooking and let it sit at room temperature.
  • Heat the frying pan over high heat, then add the meat and spread it out evenly. Reduce to medium-low heat right after that, as the marinade can burn if left on high heat.

  • To give it a spicy flavor like gochujang bulgogi, ingredients such as gochujang (Korean chili paste), korean chili powder, or fresh chili peppers can be added.
  • Recall the taste of bulgogi and add the ingredients that match it.
  • For seasoning the meat, think of using about 1 tablespoon of soy sauce per 100 grams of meat. (If using Korean soy sauce, use about 0.7 tablespoon — a little less.)
  • When making gochujang bulgogi, mix soy sauce and gochujang in a 50:50 ratio. For example, if you’re marinating 400 grams of meat, for regular bulgogi use 4 tablespoons of soy sauce. For gochujang bulgogi, use 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of gochujang — half and half.
  • The key to Korean bulgogi seasoning is soy sauce and gochujang.
  • With this approach, you’ll be able to make bulgogi seasoning without a recipe — and even go on to invent your own version.
