Bulgogi 불고기


     One of my favorite in Korean food is the Bulgogi 불고기 (Korean Beef Barbecue).  It is thinly slice, sweet and salty in flavor, and cooked on the grill.  It is usually wrap in lettuce and combined with side dishes.

     Believed to have originated in Goguryeo era (37BC-668AD), originally called maekjeok (맥적).  In the Joseon Dynasty, it was called neobiani (너비아니) meaning thinly spread meat and was traditionally prepared for the wealthy and nobility class.
