Love home-made versions of bulgogi with natural tenderizers and better cut of meat.
This marinade 下足了料!Must be so good. I seldom have bulgogi outside so no “inspiration/motivation” to make bulgogi at home.
Have never had a bulgogi…..they look just like my favourite lettuce wraps.
Is it possible to leave out corn syrup? Or anything I can use to replace it?
Yes, substitute with honey or sugar, to taste.
