Korean Beef Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps With Homemade Ssamjang

YouTube cooking sensation Maangchi shares the perfect recipe for a lunchbox: beef bulgogi lettuce wraps. Her recipe, which is featured in her new cookbook “Maangchi’s Big Book of Korean Cooking,” is a classic Korean dish made with toasted sesame seeds, white rice, homemade ssamjang (spicy fermented soybean paste), filet mignon, and Bibb lettuce. Maangchi marinates the thinly sliced meat with sesame oil, garlic, green onion, soy sauce, black pepper, and sugar and then cooks it quickly in a pan, while the rice cooker handles the white rice. Finally, Maangchi assembles the wraps with lettuce and cherry tomatoes, showing how easy and fun her recipe is to make and eat.
