Tips
- If you don't have mirin, you can substitute it with rice vinegar and a little extra sugar.
- When cooking the meat, do not sauté initially. Let the juices evaporate and the bottom get crispy to achieve a Korean BBQ flavor.
- The burnt-looking pieces are normal as the sugar caramelizes and contributes to the flavor.
- Eating with your hands also makes everything taste better.
- This dish can be eaten in many ways, like over rice, with Korean soybean salad, kimchi, or as lettuce wraps.
