ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS – MEAT

Korean pork belly (Samgyeopsal: 삼겹살) 


Koreans love Samgyeopsal. Samgyeop means three layer so Samgyeopsal means three layered meat. This meat is typically used on a BBQ. It is popular in both the non-marinated and marinated way.

Sirloin (Deungshim:등심)  or Tenderloin (Anshim: 안심) 


Beef sirloin or tenderloin is commonly used when making Bulgogi (Korean marinated BBQ beef, 불고기), Miyeok-guk (Korean seaweed soup, 미역국) and  Japchae (Korean glass noodles, 잡채).

Image
Enjoy this super easy air fryer pork belly recipe, Korean style. The crispy outer layer and moist internal layer of pork belly bites are savory and so delicious. This is a perfect recipe for pork belly meat lovers. PORK BELLY IN AIR FRYER Korean pork belly BBQ (Samgyeopsal, 삼겹살) is a staple dish in Korea and with the increased popularity of air fryers, making samgyeopsal in an air fryer is also getting really popular. A few reasons people use an air fryer when making samgyeopsal are: You can get crispy outer texture and soft juicy internal texture of pork belly. While these pork belly bites are not crispy like crackling pork rind, but it is still very tasty in a different way. You can potentially have less cleaning work after cooking compared to the typical method of grilling them over the stove (e.g. less oil splash as it will be contained within the air fryer, albeit you will have to wipe down the air fryer inner walls.) You can set it and “almost” forget it while the pork belly is c...

Bulgogi spring rolls with sweet ssamjang sauce is a delicious Korean and Southeast Asian fusion dish created with popular Korean BBQ beef bulgogi. It’s light, fresh, and moreish! BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF) I love Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Beef) and I know how much you love it too. The slightly salty, sweet and savoury flavour is hard to resist! Nowadays, I make Bulgogi at least once a week at home, so finding a creative way to serve Bulgogi is another fun part of being a food blogger. 😉 BULGOGI SPRING ROLLS WITH SWEET SSAMJANG SAUCE Today, I’m sharing another creative way to enjoy Bulgogi using rice paper wrappers. I would call it Bulgogi spring rolls, but you could call it Bulgogi salad rolls or Bulgogi summer rolls, whichever appeals to you more. Deliciously marinated Bulgogi is briefly cooked over a stove (you can use an outdoor BBQ grill if you want!) then served on prepared rice paper, lettuce, Korean perilla leaves, cucumber and carrots. These give a really nice crunchy texture as well...

HOW TO MAKE KOREAN STYLE DASHI STOCK

Give life to your Korean soup by learning how to make Korean soup stock (aka Korean style dashi stock)!  WHAT IS DASHI? Dashi is Japanese soup stock, which is used as a base stock in a Japanese soup dish. It is also used in some side dishes and in noodle dishes etc. Dashi is like a backbone of Japanese cuisine. So why am I talking about Japanese food – dashi here? Well, there is dashi in Korean cooking as well. In Korea, we call this yuksu (육수), however, dashi (다시) is also a commonly used terminology as well. KOREAN SOUP STOCK Among others, dried kelp and dried anchovy stock (Dashima Myeolchi Yuksu, 다시마 멸치 육수) is the most commonly used soup stock in Korean cooking. For even more complex flavor, some Koreans add dried shiitake mushroom, the white part of green onion (close to the root) and/or Korean radish (daikon radish) on top of this. As you can see from the picture above, dried kelp and dried anchovy stock is thin water based stock. It has a subtle but savory note. You can use t...
