Korean Pork Bulgogi - Non-spicy version

Pork Bulgogi is a very popular Korean BBQ dish. Typically, pork bulgogi (as opposed to beef bulgogi) is prepared with a fair amount of Korean red chili pepper paste. So its spicy! I think the majority of the recipes on the web for pork bulgogi covers this spicy version. In Seoul, there is also a non-spicy version. It doesn't get as much attention by food bloggers but is popular among the locals. I share it with you below.

This grilled pork dish is frequently served at lunch time by Korean BBQ restaurants. It usually comes with a basket of assorted, fresh lettuce. You can use it as a wrap and layer some rice and meat on top of it.

Korean like to eat a variety of lettuce, especially when eating grilled meat. The most frequent are  romaine lettuce, perilla leaves, red-leaf lettuce and beat leaves. We also add a touch of flavorful doenjang paste called Ssamjang. It is made by mixing doenjang with gochujang, sesame oil, onion, garlic, green onions. It is the perfect sauce to top-off the wraps.

Buy your favorite greens, grill up some pork bulgogi and make your own wraps at home!
