  • 2 bunches green onions, cut into 1 in pieces
  • 1 cabbage (to shred and add to cooking pork)

directions

  • Freeze the pork shoulder for a few hours until firm, then slice as thin as possible, trimming away as much excess fat / connective tissue as possible.
  • Mix all the marinade ingredients together, then combine with pork and onions in a bowl.
  • Marinate at least 24 hours in the refigerator.
  • Freeze portions in ziploc / vacuum seal bags.

to cook

  • Thaw the frozen bulgogi, then cook in 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium heat, adding extra soy sauce if not enough liquid.
  • Before serving, add a handful of shredded cabbage to the pan and cook until just wilted.
  • Serve with rice (brown is quite nice).
