📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The name literally means "fire meat," and the dish is thought to trace back to Korean royal court cooking. Grated pear or apple in the marinade works magic, tenderizing the meat remarkably. It's a common centerpiece for birthdays and when guests come over.

🌆 Where it's eaten: A sizzling panful of bulgogi at the center of the table, everyone wrapping bites in lettuce leaves — the sound and aroma alone make the meal feel festive.
