Food is constantly getting reinvented and if some want to be a stick in the mud about it, fine, but the rest of the world will experiment and enjoy. Omu rice, chicken tikka masala, Japanese curry rice - these probably all felt like violations at the time, but are now considered classics.


I'm Korean and have made this ground beef bulgogi. I had the leftovers with mac and cheese! And another batch of leftovers in kimchi fried rice. If I had more left I would have stuck it into a tortilla and griddled it with cheese and other stuff. I enjoy all the mashups tbh.

I'm Korean. I draw the line on putting cheese on all my Korean food.

Well, tbf, they didn't have a lot of food, especially tasty food back then, so using the beef fat over the bland potatoes makes sense to me.

My British MIL makes roasted potatoes with duck or goose fat. It is very very tasty.

Kid loved it for school lunch.

Easy to round out with frozen rice and veg.

Dump and cook in a one pan for 8-10 minutes, which I did happily at 10pm for the next day.

No crockpot mess, no giant pot or heavy Dutch oven or greasy sheet tray. No waiting for oven to preheat.

Can anyone recommend similar recipes that are great?


What does that mean? Make ground beef with bulgogi meat?


No, make bulgogi with ground beef.


that's sounds strange. how do you take fat out of ground beef?


NP. You cook the ground beef and then drain the fat…


Plus, why... would you need to take the fat out?


IDK because store bought ground beef is 10-25% fat?


Korean here. I wouldn't feed that to my kids.


Then don’t. Even 93% lean ground beef needs to have the fat drained. If you prefer meat swimming in rendered fat for your kids, go for it.


Oddly hostile response. You feed your kids whatever junk you want to feed.


Are you still pretending to not know what ground beef is

We like this sugar free Korean beef and my not big on veg kids happily eat the cauli rice. Super quick, yummy, great for lunch next day too.

10% fat ground beef is not terrible. Do your kids eat burgers? Steak? Bacon?
