💡 What's interesting

Bulgogi, meaning 'fire meat' in Korean, is a classic example of Korean BBQ culture, where the act of grilling and sharing food is central to social gatherings. Nutritionally, the marinade's use of pear or apple juice not only tenderizes the meat but also adds natural sweetness, reducing the need for excessive sugar.
