Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork shoulder (thinly sliced)
- 4 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 medium Onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Chili paste (optional, for extra spice)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice (optional, for serving)
- 8 leaves Lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine tamari, gochugaru, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the thinly sliced pork shoulder into a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Add the thinly sliced onions to the mixture.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours, for the best flavor.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork and onions to the pan in a single layer. (Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
Cook the pork for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through, with the edges slightly caramelized.
Remove the cooked pork from the pan and place it on a serving platter. Repeat with remaining pork if cooking in batches.
Garnish the pork bulgogi with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve the spicy pork bulgogi over cooked rice or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a gluten-free meal. Optionally, include additional chili paste for added heat.
