Spicy Pork Bulgogi or Daeji Bulgogi

This is my version of this vastly popular spicy Korean pork bbq dish. I love Korean BBQ and my favorite meat is the spicy pork. I serve it with rice, radish kimchi and pickled cucumber salad. Lately I have been serving without rice but with Bibb lettuce leaves to make lettuce wraps. I add one of my favorite things fermented soybean paste for the salty kick to the wraps.
