Tip for Serving


In Korea, this soy sauce pork bulgogi is commonly served with warm white rice. In Korea, a standard serving of rice is about 1 cup (150–200g), but if you're trying to lose weight, consider reducing it to half or even one-third. (The author usually eats about ⅓ to ⅔ cup, or 50–100g.)

If you have kimchi on hand, it's an excellent side—the spicy, tangy flavor balances the sweetness of the dish perfectly.
It’s also delicious when wrapped in lettuce or perilla leaves for a refreshing bite!
