Some dishes are so simple that they easily become part of our regular home cooking. This Korean-style pork bulgogi is one of them.
Thinly sliced pork is cooked with plenty of onion in a savory, slightly sweet sauce. As the onion cooks, it becomes soft and naturally sweet, while the pork absorbs all the delicious flavors.
I like serving it in two ways: with a bowl of warm steamed rice for a comforting meal, or wrapped in fresh lettuce for something lighter and refreshing.
It is an easy recipe to make at home when you want something flavorful without spending too much time in the kitchen.

Cooking Tips 烹飪技巧
- Thinly sliced pork works best because it cooks quickly and absorbs the marinade well.
- Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Cook in batches if necessary. Let the onion cook until soft so its natural sweetness comes through.
- For lettuce wraps, choose fresh and crisp lettuce leaves. If serving with rice, spoon some of the sauce from the pan over the rice.
- Adjust the sweetness of the marinade according to your taste.
