Easy 25-min. Non-Spicy Pork Bulgogi Recipe
When you need a fast weeknight dinner, try this easy non-spicy pork bulgogi recipe as a main. It takes only 25 minutes from start to finish. Every bite offers tender, juicy pork belly with a sweet, smoky glaze.
Ingredients
- ½ lb pork belly thinly sliced strips
- ¼ teaspoon sesame seeds toasted kind
Marinade:
- ½ cup onion julienned
- 1 green onions chopped into 1 inch long pieces
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted kind
- ½ tablespoon white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon mirin
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the pork belly strips into 2.5 to 3-inch long pieces.
- Transfer the sliced pork belly to a large mixing bowl. Add the listed marinade ingredients to the bowl and mix well until the meat is fully coated. Marinate the pork for at least 15 minutes or overnight for the best flavor.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork along with all the remaining marinade ingredients directly into the pan.
- Fry the pork belly on both sides until it is no longer pink and most of the liquids have evaporated, leaving only the rendered fat. For a tender version, cook the meat for 6 to 7 minutes. For a crispier pork with browned edges, cook the meat for 8 to 9 minutes.
- Garnish the dish with sesame seeds and serve.
