Quickly stir-fried over high heat to bring out a smoky, chargrilled flavor, Korean pork bulgogi is a classic homemade dish that never disappoints. The soy sauce-based marinade, infused with ginger and garlic, gives the pork a rich, savory flavor without any unpleasant odor. The natural sweetness of onions and green onions makes it the perfect dish to enjoy with a bowl of rice. Serve it with shredded green onions for extra crunch and freshness, and lightly char the pork with a kitchen torch for a delicious smoky aroma just like at a restaurant!
