The only thing I really miss about Korea is the food. Beef bulgogi was my absolute favorite dish over there. If any of you miss that dish, here's a version that works for me. I got it from one of my NCOs/Sgts when I was in South Carolina, though he wouldn't share it until I was leaving. Until then we had an arrangement; I killed wild hogs and, for a portion of the meat, he'd make us a huge batch of bulgogi. Here goes:

TSgt, call-sign Devastator's, bulgogi
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup sesame oil
- 1 cup sugar (I now use about 3/4 cup or less)
- 1 bunch sliced green onions
- 3 cloves (I use 6) garlic sliced/minced
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional, but I use them)
- I add chopped red cili peppers or whatever you use to make food hot
Marinate 2-3 lbs thin-sliced meat (I used black bear below) for a minimum of 1 hour (overnight is better). Grill meat. Make marinade into sauce by heating and adding a small amount of corn starch to thicken. Serve meat and sauce over rice or noodles.
