From what I can gather, it basically tastes like bulgogi marinade, but a little less concentrated in the soy/sugar department, and with more garlic and ginger added. I'm thinking restaurants put a bit of MSG to give it that savory flavor, but perhaps a few splashes of fish sauce can be used as a substitute. Just my 2 cents. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/does-anyone-know-what-this-marinade-is#post-5871 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:24:28 +0000 powerplantop 5871@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Usually beef is marinaded in something sweet. The pear, apple or kiwi is used to tenderize the beef and add a bit of sweet. </p> <p>Most pork marinade that I have seen have been spicy. But the photos you show don't really seam spicy. I have not seen this style of marinaded pork but it looks interesting. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/does-anyone-know-what-this-marinade-is#post-5870 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 03:36:48 +0000 kimchijjang 5870@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I noticed the LA galbi/kalbi and other Kbbq recipes online call for pears and kiwis but I have never found out what marinade this one is. It seems more savory. It is often seen in most Kbbq restaurants. </p> <p>the pictures are here:<br /> <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/XkxGT2wCKpZ_pnxUupGy9Q?select=sEK-L7shpJVYmqkv1Hbcew" rel="nofollow">http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/XkxGT2wCKpZ_pnxUupGy9Q?select=sEK-L7shpJVYmqkv1Hbcew</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vJnLbyk2lXaOAtGlOmOYpw?select=GdceiZZqf1pURbgur0QaiQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vJnLbyk2lXaOAtGlOmOYpw?select=GdceiZZqf1pURbgur0QaiQ</a></p> <p>p.s. - it is not just soy sauce </p>
