Why Bulgogi deserves more attention
Bulgogi rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The sweet, spicy, and savoury at once complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using kimchi brine correctly takes real skill.
the communal banchan side dishes are as important as the main. I encountered it first in a home banchan spread and that context helped me understand it properly. banana milk is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Bulgogi is the dish to start with.
