What is Bulgogi Sauce?
Bulgogi sauce is a blend of few easy ingredients to make Korean BBQ recipes like Bulgogi. Traditionally used to marinate beef, pork, or chicken, the sauce gives the authentic Korean BBQ flavors. The name Bulgogi is a combination of two Korean words, Bul meaning “fire” and Gogi, translating to “meat”. Hence, this dish is called “fire meat.” I use Bulgogi sauce mainly as a marinade, but it’s also fantastic for adding flavor to various dishes. From stir-fries to grilled veggies, this sauce elevates everything it touches. Having a jar of Bulgogi sauce in the fridge means I can whip up a tasty Asian-inspired meal anytime. It’s definitely a must-have condiment for any kitchen!
