Tips
- Do not sauté the meat initially; allow the juices to evaporate and the bottom to get crispy.
- Spread the meat thin in the pan to encourage crispiness.
- Don’t be alarmed by burnt-looking pieces, as the sugar will caramelize and provide a Korean BBQ flavor.
- Eating with your hands makes everything taste better.
