We love all kinds of cuisine like Japanese, Indian, Mexican, and Chinatown-authentic Chinese food – as long as it is not spicy. We have a low-tolerance to painful and spicy dishes. Often we find a dish at a native-run restaurant and try to make it at home. Recently, we found a very simple version of our favorite Korean beef bowl, bulgogi. Normally, you have to marinate your meat over several hours or overnight. Try my 15-minute, quick and easy faux-Bulgogi meal. I can’t wait to hear what you think.
