From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bulgogi (
Korean pronunciation: [bulɡoɡi]) is a Korean dish that usually consists of marinated
barbecued beef, although chicken or pork may also be used.
[1]
[edit] Etymology
Bulgogi literally means "fire meat" in Korean, which refers to the cooking technique—over an open flame—rather than the dish's spiciness. The term is also applied to variations such as
dak bulgogi (made with chicken) or
dwaeji bulgogi (made with pork), although the seasonings are different.
[2]
[edit] History
Bulgogi is believed to have originated during the
Goguryeo era (37 BC–668 AD) when it was originally called
maekjeok (맥적), with the beef being grilled on a skewer.
[3] It was called
neobiani (너비아니), meaning "thinly spread" meat,
[1] in the
Joseon Dynasty and was traditionally prepared especially for the king.

[edit] Preparation and serving
Bulgogi being cooked in a pan
Bulgogi is made from thin slices of
sirloin or other prime
cuts of beef.
[5] Before cooking the meat is
marinated to enhance its flavour and tenderness, with a mixture of
soy sauce,
sugar,
sesame oil,
garlic and other ingredients such as
scallions, or mushrooms, especially
white button mushrooms or
shiitake. Sometimes,
cellophane noodles are added to the dish, which varies by region and specific recipe.
[1][6]
Bulgogi is traditionally
grilled, but
pan-
cooking is common as well. Whole cloves of garlic, sliced onions, and chopped
green peppers are often grilled or fried with the meat.
[1] This dish is sometimes served with a side of
lettuce or other
leafy vegetable, which is used to wrap a slice of cooked meat, often along with a dab of
ssamjang, or other side dishes, and then eaten as a whole.

[edit] In modern culture
Bulgogi is served in barbecue restaurants in South Korea and there are
bulgogi flavoured fast-food
hamburgers sold at many Korean fast-food restaurants. The hamburger patty is marinated in
bulgogi sauce and served with lettuce, tomato, onion, and sometimes cheese. It is similar to a
teriyaki burger in flavour.
