Spicy Ground Beef Bulgogi Recipe

Spicy Ground Beef Bulgogi Recipe | Easy & Delicious Korean Dish 

Hey there! So, I recently watched this awesome show called “The Genius Paik,” where a famous Korean chef Mr. Paik opened a Korean restaurant in Italy. They served this incredible Korean combo meal called Jeyukssambap, featuring Korean spicy bulgogi with rice, soup, side dishes, and lettuce wraps. It looked absolutely mouthwatering, and I just realized I hadn’t had Korean spicy bulgogi for a long time and wanted to try as how they served in the show. Trust me. It’s super easy and tasty!

One of the things I love most about this Spicy Ground Beef Bulgogi recipe is its versatility. You can customize it to suit your preferences and dietary needs. Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less gochugaru, Korean red pepper flakes, and gochujang, Korean red pepper paste. If you’re vegetarian or vegan, simply substitute the ground meat with crumbled tofu for a delectable plant-based alternative. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to make this dish truly your own!

Now, let’s talk about the simplicity of this recipe. With just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up this Spicy Ground Beef Bulgogi in no time.
