Hi Maangchi!
I want to make a large batch for the whole week. What’s the best way to store leftovers? I don’t want to noodles to get soggy. Thanks!
Sorry, typo error… It’s called Wok Pan
Bulgogi in the house . I really tried … My family demolished everything in a jiff . That’s the best compliment. Thank you for sharing your recipes and cooking tips.

Tried making this for the first time tonight. Had fun doing it. I liked making this after seeing the YouTube video.

Yes, it looks so colorful! You made a nice ttokbaegi-bulgogi!
Just made this tonight. Beautiful and flavorful! I didn’t add any heat and ate it with my homemade radish kimchi.

What size Ttukbaeggi?
Thank you!!
BTW: I’ve made the easy kimchi, radish kimchi (my fave!), and kimchi jigae. Love them all! After this, I”m making Tteokbokki! :)
I just made this for the first time yesterday and it was fantastic! I wanted to make this stew for a while but only just recently found chrysanthemum greens. Great choice on using skirt steak, so tasty! My husband asked me to made again for dinner tomorrow. Thanks!
This recipe was very easy and tasted delicious! My husband was surprised how delicious this turned out.

Yum! I’m glad to hear that you got some compliment on your homemade bulgogi stew!
Dear Maangchi
My craving comes for A bulgogi stew. But I only have a useless induction cooker which only able to use magnetic base pots. I can’t use earthen pot like what you use. Can I just use normal Stainless Steel pot? Or Happy Call won pan?
IMaangchi I love your channel and recipes. I went out and purchased my own little pots to make this dish and was wondering if I can use chicken instead of beef (not a big red meat eater). Thank you so much!
What size pots are best? I have these,…

I just tried the recipe today and it was a success. I will definitely make this again very soon! :D
A Korean place near me makes this and I tend to order it as winter appears. It’s so good, I think I might like it better than plain grilled bulgogi.
