김치불고기버거

김치불고기버거 (Kimchi Bulgogi Burger)

This is more of a sandwich than a burger (although it is served on a hamburger bun), but as this recipe is actually our attempt to revive a menu item from a now long-gone restaurant in Hawaii, we thought it'd be nice to retain the original name as well. Bulgogi + kimchi may seem odd at first, but it sure tastes great!

Notes & Tips

As you may have noticed, this is mainly a bulgogi recipe! There isn't much to the sandwich itself aside from the idea. All you really need is bread, bulgogi and kimchi.

Grated pears or minced onions act as a meat tenderizer. You could also try pineapple juice or grated kiwi. 불고기용 beef bought at the store often come in large strips, you can cut them to bite-size before cooking.
