Make a lot of rice, bulgogi, and kimchi or kkakdugi as a side dish. yum! Slice the beef very thinly and add lots of sliced onions. Marinate it overnight so that the beef will be tender. Cook the marinated bulgogi in your large wok. Or you can pan-fry it. It doesn't have to be hot when you serve.</p> <p>Good luck with the event and let me know how it goes. Don't forget to take some photos to share with me and my other readers please. I'd like to see some photos of your student's eating! : ) <a href="http://www.maangchi.com/photos" rel="nofollow">http://www.maangchi.com/photos</a> </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/tips-for-cooking-bulgogi-for-a-lot-of-people#post-8429 Wed, 22 May 2013 12:27:51 +0000 mkim50 8429@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I am a teacher and we are having an International day at our middle school for our students with many different foods represented. I have a $250 budget and I was wanting to cook bulgogi on a bed of rice as small tasting samples for the students we have about 300 students that would be brave enough to try it. Of course I will also have kimchi for the brave little souls to try. =)</p> <p>Are there any tips from how to keep it warm, how to cook a large amount of bulgogi? Is it best to broil in the oven to save time? I will have to do all of my cooking myself, I do have a very large wok too. </p> <p>Any and all suggestions are welcome. Keep in mind these samples will be in small 4oz. cups maybe.. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/gaining-confidence-cooking-korean-food#post-6301 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:36:11 +0000 Maangchi 6301@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>My mother and sisters make galbi on Thanksgiving day, too! : ) Cultural food is always popular no matter where they live. </p> <p>I'm so happy to hear that your galbi was a big hit at the party! I'm proud of you and I'm sure your mom will be also proud of you. If you can make good galbi, there will be no problem for you to cook all kinds of delicious Korean dishes! </p> <p>"My boyfriend is a true midwestern meat and potatoes type of guy .." lol </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/gaining-confidence-cooking-korean-food#post-6296 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 23:00:17 +0000 mkim50 6296@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I live about 3.5 hours from my korean mother who has cooked for me my whole life. When I went to college in Chicago, she would freeze bulgogi in bags so that I could get my korean fix. I find myself almost 30 now realizing that driving 3.5 hours to get my fix isn't going to do. I have always been intimidated by cooking on my own because it will never come out as good as my mother's cooking. The real test came last Thanksgiving when my boyfriend suggested I make khalbi for his family. I thought...."why would anyone khalbi when there is turkey?" it turned out to be a huge hit and my khalbi did better than the turkey! I have always wanted to branch out and make those dishes I grew up having all the time. I just did not have the confidence to start. I would find myself at the international market on the phone with my mother asking her for the ingredients..then of course the korean stubbornness comes out and we are shouting at each other while my mother is dumbing down the recipes...Now that I have discovered all these websites with videos.....the possibilities are endless. I feel after watching several of the videos, I have the confidence to really make these dishes and it tasting just as good as what my mother would make. Thank you Maangchi for the extensive detail about the dishes and enjoying cooking with others. My boyfriend is a true midwestern meat and potatoes type of guy and I want to start integrating korean dinners 2-3 nights per week. I now feel that your site is the resource and confidence builder that I needed to try my korean culinary skills! Thanks so much!! </p>
