This is my lunch on a Saturday!
A house full of bulgogi aroma, it can’t be better! Memorial day weekend is the perfect time to grill bulgogi. Don’t forget to prepare vegetables and ssamjang, they go perfectly with bulgogi!
The recipe for bulgogi with ssamjang is here!
Have a cool photo you want to share?

I made this but our Asian pear tree is just setting fruit, so I substituted prunes. It worked out well. In the picture above your marinade seems to have much more liquid than mine.Thanks for another great recipe.
I was having bulgogi at the same time! Of course it was your bulgogi recipe :)
I can’t cook to save my life. When I cook on my own, it just doesn’t taste good. It’s still fun though.
But every time I use your recipes, everyone LOVES the food, I LOVE the food, all of the food is gone, and I get tons of compliments. My friends literally keep reminiscing on how good my food was, even days later. Now that is real fun!! :)
You’re such an awesome person to share and teach your amazing talent and skills. You have made a world of difference in my epicurean life. Really can’t thank you enough :) Hugs to you Maangchi, and Happy Memorial weekend! :)
