Instructions

Combine samgyeopsal, squid, soy sauce, fish sauce, mirin, maesilaek, sugar, gochugaru, garlic, ginger, thai chili, black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Then add onion and give it a good mix one last time. Cover with a plastic wrap, let it marinate for minimum 20 minutes to overnight in a refrigerator.
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat; add cooking oil and swirl to coat.
Add osam bulgogi and stir fry until everything is fully cooked, about 5 to 6 minutes. Toss in zucchini and Serrano and remove from heat. You can serve osam bulgogi actually just like this with rice and other Korean side dishes. That will be more like lunch. If you want to have a soju party or have family/friends coming over and you want to impress them, do the next step to serve it!
On your serving pan, place blanched bean sprouts and shredded green onion then osam bulgogi. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion then serve at your dinner table with a portable gas stove and start cooking & eating! You can start eating as soon as it sizzles, because everything is fully cooked already. Keep adding more beansprouts, green onion and osam bulgogi as you go.
When you are done eating osam bulgogi, you can make fried rice with leftover sauce! Chop leftover veggies with scissors and add kimchi. Also chop kimchi with scissors. Add some rice (how much rice to add is it’s your judgement depending on how much sauce has left on your pan), sesame oil and sesame seeds. Fry rice and add 1 egg to your taste if you prefer. (I like to eat this fried rice with roasted gim) Enjoy!
