DELECTABLE DISH FOR THE DAY: BEEF BULGOGI KIMCHI LETTUCE CUPS
DIFFICULTY: Easy
SERVING SIZE: Good for 5 people
COOKING TIME: 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS FOR BEEF BULGOGI KIMCHI LETTUCE CUPS
- 750g minced beef
- 1 cup bulgogi sauce
- 500g kimchi
- Iceberg lettuce
STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS TO MAKE BEEF BULGOGI KIMCHI LETTUCE CUPS
- Wash the lettuce first and leave it to dry
- In a large bowl, combine the bulgogi sauce and the 750g minced beef. Mix until well combined
- Heat the pan over high head. Add the beef mixture and allow to sear for ~5 minutes or until a deep brown crust is formed
- Flip the beef in chunks. Let it cook, don’t keep mixing it. Once all the sides are cooked, break it up in chunks and stir-fry for another minute
- Serve with kimchi and iceberg lettuce. I strained the kimchi sauce first and chopped it up, otherwise it would be a mess!!
- But anyway, use the lettuce leaves as little cups, add the chopped kimchi, then the beef mixture. Bite into it and savor the bulgogi goodness
- Bon Appetit!
