Spicy Korean Beef Stir-Fry

December 9, 2016

Very quick dish to make. Sweet and spicy. Incredibly tempting. Make sure to save extra rice – you may need more!

I feel something is living inside the fridge and cupboards… because when I open them, it’s either something is whistling or something is getting thrown to me. Meaning: I need to use them before I witness a suicidal scene.

One of my habits is when I find something unusual that interests me (and yes, I am talking about food-related stuff) or an ingredient I can only find in a store away from me, there’s a 99.9% chance that I will get that stuff even I still don’t know what to do with it! Hey, there’s my BFF Google! 😀

So yes, I am saying that when I got gochujang, I had only two things in mind – Bibimbap and Korean Fried Chicken. Oh, they were so good. Try them some time. 😉

What to do with the rest of the hot pepper paste? Hello again, Google!

In this recipe, I used beef (the source recipe calls for pork). The taste was a perfect balance between spicy and sweet! I perfectly paired this with sweet-pickled sliced cucumber and onions. Oh so so good! Of course, best with white rice.

C’mon… tell me you love this and will make this soon! 😀

I am taking this at this week’s Fiesta Friday # 149 with our dear Angie and lovely co-hosts Aunt Juju and Sandhya.
