As someone who loves spicy food, I was excited to incorporate gochujang, a spicy Korean chili paste, into this recipe. But don't worry, the heat level is adjustable to suit your taste. This dish is a perfect fusion of East meets West, and I'm confident it will become a staple in your household.

Making the Bulgogi Beef

To make the bulgogi beef, we'll start by cooking the thinly sliced beef in a pan with 1 tbsp vegetable oil until browned. I like to use a mixture of soy sauce and sugar to simplify the marinade, but feel free to experiment with different flavors. Bulgogi is a classic Korean dish that's known for its sweet and savory flavors, so don't be afraid to get creative.
