I love Korean BBQ. The flavors are unlike any other cuisine and are just perfect. Bulgogi literally translates to fire meat or barbecue, but the marinade is what makes Bulgogi different from the rest of the Korean BBQ meats.
Though going to Korean BBQ is a common way to enjoy Korean cuisine, there are so many other ways to enjoy the cuisine, like Spicy Tofu Soup or Soondubu or Korean Chicken Wings (which in my opinion are the BEST!). Living in Los Angeles, gives me access to Korea Town and unlimited Korean food adventures!
One of my favorite ways to enjoy bulgogi beef is in a bowl. In Korean, this is called Bibimbop and is typically served in a stone pot over a bed of rice and veggies. This is my version of a Bulgogi Bibimbop that I hope you all enjoy!
