My first attempt came out pretty yummy. It doesn’t look quite as appetizing as your meal because I cut the meat pretty horribly. I just made due with what I had, which was rib-eye steak. The kimchi fried rice I added egg too and cut out the seaweed, since I didn’t have any. But end result was delicious, I made it for me and my grandmother and she really really liked the meal. The meat came out nice and tender and she even ate some of the kimchi fried rice and she’s not a big fan of kimchi.

Thanks so much for sharing your recipes

I’m sorry to hear that! To make good bulgogi, use sirloin or tenderloin steak beef. And slice it very thinly across the grain. Check out my recent bulgogi video and the recipe. http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/bulgogi

Maangchiii I need your help !! :(
I have some issues with cooking the beef. Basically, I cooked it on a hot pan, using a little bit of oil and i cooked its for 15 mins max. unfortunately it turned out really hard and it was so hard that it made my teeth hurt on chewing it. it was my first attempt and I had high hopes. Is there anythng I can do to the beef to make it more soft and tender ??
also I didn’t like the kimchi i made it was nothing like the ones from restaurants. It had such a strong garlic taste…. hmmm
I guess I have a long way to go !! ;(

Just made this, with the rice and home-made ssam jaang. It was delicious. I found lots of recipes for Bulgogi on the internet but decided on this one, although I think next time i’ll reduce the amount of sesame oil as the flavour overpowered everything else, maybe the oil I used was quite a strong one.
