Bulgogi Spice

Bulgogi, which translates to "fire meat," is a traditional Korean dish typically made with marinated beef that's grilled. This dish originated in the Goguryeo era, where early forms of the dish were known as 'maekjeok', with the meat cooked on skewers. It evolved during the Joseon Dynasty into 'neobiani', meaning 'thinly spread' meat, and was considered a delicacy among the wealthy nobility. The modern name and preparation of 'bulgogi' were popularized in the 20th century, making it a beloved staple in Korean cuisine both domestically and internationally. The unique blend of sweet and savory flavors that characterize bulgogi has been captured in our Bulgogi Spice, which incorporates a variety of ingredients to mimic the dish's iconic taste.

Bulgogi Spice easily brings complex, international flavors to simple dishes. We enjoy it sprinkled over grilled meats or fried eggs, tossed with vegetables in a stir-fry, or used to season hearty stews. This spice blend adds a depth of flavor that is both uniquely Korean and universally appealing. Try using it in non-traditional ways, like sprinkled over popcorn for a sweet and spicy treat, to truly appreciate its versatility.

Did you know that Bulgogi was voted as the 23rd most delicious food in the world by CNN’s reader’s poll in 2011? This speaks volumes about its global appeal and the magic of its flavor profile, which we've encapsulated in our Bulgogi Spice blend.
