What Protein Can I Add to this Recipe?
A Korean household staple and a popular choice for any meat lovers – add Korean style marinated beef to elevate your Spicy Korean Rice. Bulgogi (the Korean name for the marinated beef) is to Korea what pizza and pasta is to Italy: a key meal in every household, found in every Korean’s repertoire and deeply ingrained in their culture.
The fundamental ingredients for bulgogi are the thinly sliced beef meat; ribeye being a popular cut used, and the marinating sauce. Pop to your local Asian market to pick up a jar of ready to use sauce, or have a go at home making your own by mixing soy sauce, sugar, garlic, green onion and sesame oil. Easy and delicious, surprise your family and friends with this tasty dish.
Shrimp, chicken or pork could also substituted for beef to be sources of protein added to this dish. And for vegetarians, crispy fried tofu marinated in the same bulgogi sauce as above would be the perfect addition.
