Ingredients
600 grams mince beef
garlic
spring onions
ginger
soy sauce
sesame oil
rice wine vinegar
sesame seeds
korean chilli flakes
dried anchovies
kal kuk-soo noodles
eggs
seaweed
Bulgogi Marinade Ingredients
600 grams mince beef
5 Tbsp Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1/2 korean pear (thinly sliced, you could use an apple or a normal pear)
1/2 Onion sliced
2 crushed/minced garlic
2 green onions chopped
1 knob of ginger grated
1 carrot grated
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp black pepper
Method
Whiz up in your hand mixed. I like it a bit chunky so not too much.
Mix it on your beef, use your hands and mix it in.
Put in the fridge until you are ready to eat.
Pan fry your marinated mince once all side dishes have been prepared
Dumpling Sauce
1 green onion chopped
1 Tbsp korean chili flakes
2 Crushed garlic
6 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
Sesame Seeds
Sesame oil
(Double this or triple if you want to keep for other usage)
Korean Spicy Cucumber Pickles
Chop cucumbers (in rounds)
Place in a colander and sprinkle generously (2tsp) with salt to draw water out, mix up - about 30 mins.
Take little bunches and squeeze in your hand to get the water out. The cucumbers will look bruised but don’t worry, that’s what you want.
Add 2 cloves of chopped garlic
2 Tbsp chili flakes
2 tsp of sugar
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
Mix - cover and set until ready to eat
Eggs
6 eggs
Mix eggs really hard. You want the consistency smoother than scrambled eggs. You are wanting a silky egg.
Put small amount of oil in a non stick pan.
Pour a bit of egg to cover bottom (like a crepe)
Cover and cook slowly through.
Remove from pan, roll into cigars and slice
Broth
6 cups of water
1-12 dried anchovies
Bring to a boil (you can cook this the day before)
Once boiled, take the anchovies out
Noodles
Kal Kuk-soo - cook for 6 mins.
Assemble
Put all the sides in side dishes plus cut up 2 packets of seaweed and assemble.
