Korean Soy Bean Sprouts Bulgogi (Kong Bul) : 집밥백선생 콩나물 불고기 (콩불)

Hi guys!

Today I’m sharing one of the hottest recipe in Korea, Kongnamul Bulgogi!

Kongnamul is soy bean sprouts in Korean and it is the main ingredients of this recipe. 🙂

Soy bean sprouts are different than regular bean sprouts. Regular bean sprouts are grown from mung beans and soy bean sprouts are from soy beans.

The texture is different and flavor is different as well.  So if you can find soy bean sprouts, please do use it, but if you can’t you can substitute to regular sprouts.

I got this recipe actually from Korean cooking show call “Mr. Baek The Homemade Food Master (집밥 백선생).” If you ever have chance, it is an amazing cooking show that you can learn basic Korean cooking techniques and about the Korean ingredients.

Any recipe on this show becomes the hottest recipe to try in Korea, so if you are a Korean food lover, definitely check it out! 😀

(It’s not sponsored, I just really love this cooking show!)

You can serve and cook this dish on a table if you’d like to or you can cook ahead on a stove and serve that way. It’s up to you!

Hope you guys give this recipe a try at home! 😀

Instructions

1. Wash and drain soy bean sprouts; place soy bean sprouts in a 8 to 9 inch wide and 3 to 5 inch deep pot, pan or wok.
   
2. Slice onion thinly, cut green onion 2 inch long pieces and slice sesame leaves place top of soy bean sprouts in pot.
   
3. Cut pork into bite sizes and separate them one by one with your hand and place top of the vegetables.
   
4. In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients for the sauce except sesame seeds and whisk until well combined. Pour right over the pork and vegetables and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
   
5. Cook them over high heat if you are using thick bottom pot/pan or cook them over medium heat if you are using thin pot/pan.
   
6. When vegetables cooked down a bit, about 2 to 3 minutes, you can see juice from bean sprouts on bottom of pot. This is a great time start mix around vegetables, meat and vegetables with chopsticks or a spoon. Keep cook them until they get almost stew kind of texture, about 7 to 8 minutes.

8. When you are done eating vegetables and meat, it’s time to make fried rice!
   Add all ingredients for fried rice into pot where some leftover Kong Bul is. Turn heat back on over medium and start stir everything with two spoons.
   
9. When they mixed well, spread fried rice evenly on bottom of pot and reduce heat to low; this precess going to create delicious crispy bottom, about 2 minutes.
