Bulgogi, meaning 'fire meat,' has roots in Korean barbecue dating back to the Goguryeo era (37 BCE – 668 CE), where marinated meats were grilled over charcoal. Spicy variations likely developed later with the increased availability and popularity of gochujang (Korean chili paste) and other chili peppers in Korean cuisine. The specific type of meat used and the marinades varied based on regional availability and culinary preferences.

Spicy Pork Bulgogi explodes with a harmonious blend of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. The primary sensation is heat derived from gochujang and other chili seasonings, balanced by the sweetness of sugar and fruit purees, and grounded by the umami of soy sauce and garlic.
The dominant flavor is the fiery heat from gochujang (Korean chili paste) and gochugaru (Korean chili powder). This spiciness is tempered by the sweetness derived from sugar, honey, or Asian pear. Soy sauce provides a savory, umami backbone, while garlic and ginger add pungent aromatics. Sesame oil contributes a nutty richness, and the pork itself offers a satisfying meaty flavor. The vegetables, such as onions and green onions, add subtle sweetness and crisp textures to complement the pork.

Marinating Time
Marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes, but ideally 2-4 hours, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. Longer marinating times result in more tender and flavorful bulgogi.
Thinly Sliced Pork
Ensure the pork is thinly sliced (approximately 1/8 inch thick) for quick cooking and optimal marinade absorption. Partially freezing the pork before slicing can make this easier.
Cooking Method
Stir-fry over high heat in a wok or large skillet to achieve a slight char and prevent the pork from steaming. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Adjusting Spiciness
Adjust the amount of gochujang and gochugaru to control the spiciness level according to your preference.
