    I loved this episode and my Korean wife will love it too once she watches it. If I can make one pronunciation correction, most any word with "jang" in it would be pronounced, "j-ah-ng". Your pronunciation is more like, "j-ay-ng". That's why I love the Korean language, there's no question as to how to pronounce a word. Hangeul has 21 vowels which you are able to sound out words perfectly. Yeah, they're missing a few consonants which makes communicating difficult sometimes but they have a vowel for nearly every sound that comes out of your mouth.

    Pretty smart to use baking soda instead of Asian pear as a tenderizer. It can be hard to find Asian pear but if you do find it I definitely recommend cooking this with Asian pear in the marinade. Look up a few recipes for bulgolgi marinade that uses Asian pear and sub that marinade with this one.

    Senior Edior Annie Petito, who developed the beef bulgogi recipe for Cook's Illustrated (and ATK) tried both Asian pear and kiwi but found they made the surface of the meat mushy but the meat tenderized by the baking soda was moist and tender throughout. As the fruit treatments work a bit differently than the baking soda and her tasters preferred the meat treated with baking soda, Annie chose to use baking soda in her recipe. (That the baking soda worked a bit faster than the pear or kiwi and is also a pantry staple probably didn't hurt either). 🤷🏼‍♀

In Korea, people used to put some sliced onion, scallions, mushrooms, glass noodle, or their favorite ingredients when cooking bulgogi. What about adding something that you want? Onions and glass noodles will be definitely good. Give it a try!

    TOASTED sesame seed oil, which is used in East Asian cuisines, has a low smoke point and is a finishing oil. It should not be used for cooking!

Eye love Dogs more than anything and can never view this dish the same ever again. Side notes: the way Eye had it, it tasted like the most important ingredient was some sort of red wine. Also, it can be made with really cheap cuts of beef, tenderized by, Eye assume, the wine. It MUST be served with plain, steamed white rice.

    nice to see you discussing Korean food. pronunciations are a little off, but not terrible! "jang" is pronounced "jahng" in things like doenjang, gochujang, ganjang (soy sauce), etc. interesting to see Dan making chicken mu (the simple radish usually served with fried chicken) to go with bulgogi. it could work, but I'd rather have sigeumchi namul or mu saengchae if you wanted to stick with radishes. all fun choices, no big deal. it's all looking good until OH DEAR, BAKING SODA to tenderize the meat: ehhhhhh, no. that's a Chinese cooking trick, not really a Korean one. if you want fast tenderization of bulgogi beef, use kiwi. while Korean pear, pineapple (or even just onion or sugar) are tenderizers, kiwi is the most powerful choice that preserves the fruitiness that is part of bulgogi. for reference, PLEASE refer to my brilliant mentor JinJoo Lee, an incredibly talented Korean chef who writes the Kimchimari blog. here's her post on bulgogi (including information on using kiwi): kimchimari.com/bulgogi-korean-beef-bbq/
