Bulgogi Inspiration
I’ve heard the stories so many times. I think I even have a photo somewhere. My father has traveled extensively in Korea. Doing so, he developed a great love for the country, their culture, and food.
Even learning Korean phrases he still likes to brings out now and again. Although his pronunciations may render entirely different meanings, his Korean friends are generous with their smiles.
My father’s first experience with bulgogi was in Seoul, Korea. His most memorable was on the beach in Pusan, now called Busan, where cooks would set up large bowls set over an open fire and make bulgogi for picnickers on the shoreline.
Later, a neighbor of mine from Seoul reintroduced bulgogi to us and soon became my son’s favorite food. Korean pancakes and kimchi and bulgogi were favorite treats. Busy with her own life and responsibilities, she still took the time to often walk over treats before dinner. Forever now, Korean food will be a family favorite.
The idea for this wrap first came from Lindsey Ostrom. While there was nothing to improve on in her version, I tailored this to our taste a bit… and this is the result.
