Doejibulgogi - Korean Spicy Stir-Fried Pork Bento

24 comments


Korean Spicy Stir-Fried Pork or Doejibulgogi or Jeyuk bokkeum is my husband's absolute favourite Korean food. When I was still studying in Sydney, my husband (then boyfriend) visited me quite regularly and when he was there, we would go to the various food courts in China Town and tried different kinds of delicious Asian foods. We got to know Doejibulgogi in one of those food courts. We loved it that we always got kimchi and cabbage salad as side dishes for free everytime we bought something Korean - we were just poor students back then ;).

Since finding Korean restaurants in Germany is like looking for a needle in a haystack, I've converted to watching cooking videos from YouTube instead ;) and tried to make
Korean dishes myself at home. My references usually come from one these talented ladies: the cool Maangchi, Aeri from Aeri's Kitchen and Anna Kim from Korean Cuisine.

  12. Looks fantastic! I went to a Korean restaurant for the first time a few days ago and I really enjoyed the food. I look forward to tasting more Korean dishes.

  13. Would it be as hard to find a Korean place in the capital of Germany too? I was talking with some German friends recently when we went to dinner at a Korean BBQ place here in Paris and they said the same as you - that it's really difficult finding decent Japanese or Korean restaurants in Germany. There are SO many in Paris - I'd have thought it must be similar in Berlin, even if not so much in other cities...

  14. Oh, your pork looks so crisp and amazing! It reminds me a bit of a Korean pork bulgogi I make, but without the ginger. Yours looks delicious!

  16. @ Sissi - you should make temari sushi too, it's easy to make and look pretty too :)!

    @ Charles - I guess it would be easier to find Korean restaurants, or (more authentic) Asian restaurants in general in bigger cities, such as Berlin. But what I have around where I live...it's just poor (after all I used to live in Sydney, a melting pot of cultures and thus a food paradise...;)!!)

    @ Vivian - Aww, thank you! What an honour to be on your blogroll :D)!!
