….Bulgogi is one of the best-known Korean dishes among foreigners and is commonly translated as “Korean barbecue.” Bulgogi is prepared by marinating thin slices of beef and grilling them. Bulgogi tastes sweet and flavorful because it is marinated in a sauce consisting of sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, onion, and green onion. Bulgogi has been a popular dish served to guests and LACEY, ANNE mix their rice with the sweet gravy.
