Sabrina’s Bulgogi Sauce Recipe

You are sure to love how easy this classic Korean Bulgogi Sauce is to make and how it can pack simple dishes with incredible, restaurant-quality flavor. None of the ingredients are all that specialized or hard to come by. In fact, you may already have them in your kitchen. The popular way to use this sauce is to marinate meat for traditional Korean beef bulgogi, but it goes with other types of meat, along with veggies and tofu, too. And, it is also great for stir frying, drizzling over rice bowls or as dipping sauce, as long as it hasn’t been used as a marinade. I recommend letting it chill for at least 4 hours before using it as dipping or finishing sauce so it develops more flavor.
