Bulgogi is a classic Korean dish. "Bul" means fire and "gogi" means meat. However, the fire aspect does not signify the fiery hotness of the dish but rather the fact that it is often cooked over an open fire or in a very hot pan. When cooked on a very high heat, the pores of the meat close quickly, making it more juicy. The delicious marinade also adds to the succulence of the meat. Bulgogi is a quick and easy dish to prepare any day of the week. Ideally, the meat should be marinated 1-2 hours ahead of time. Once this has been done, the dish can be cooked up in a flash.
