Bulgogi (불고기) is a very popular marinated Korean beef dish. If you make so much bulgogi that you cannot eat it all at once, what can you do with it? You can put some of the uncooked marinated beef in a freezer bag, and put it in the freezer for a quick meal later. It still tastes good and it is very easy to prepare since it will be ready to cook. Today’s recipe is a use for excess bulgogi: bulgogi stew. Just adding some vegetables and noodles will result in this quick dish. Of course it is very delicious too. Since I already posted a bulgogi recipe before, I will skip that part and post a link to that recipe instead.
Yield: 2 Servings
Short Korean Lesson
- TtukBaeGi (뚝배기) = A clay pot
- Dol (돌) = Stone
Video Instructions
⏰ The video for this recipe will be started at 4:25.
Main Ingredients
- 2 Cups Marinated Bulgogi (including some juice from the marinated beef)
- 1 Cup Water
- 1 Handful Spinach (or Crown Daisy)
- 1 Handful Enoki Mushrooms (or your favorite Mushrooms)
- 1 oz Cellophane Noodles (DangMyun)
Directions
Prepare 2 cups of marinated bulgogi, 1 handful of spinach (crown daisy), 1 handful of enoki mushrooms (or your favorite mushrooms), and 1 oz of cellophane noodles (DangMyun).
Remove the bottom of the mushrooms.
In a pot, add 2 cups of marinated bulgogi and 1 cup of water.
Cut 1 oz of cellophane noodles in half with scissors. Before you add the noodles to the stew, boil the noodles in water for about 5 minutes. This will help to make them easier to handle. When the stew starts to boil, add the noodles.
Boil the stew on medium until the beef is completely cooked. It is important not to cook the meat at too high of a temperature so that the meat will become tender.
Once the beef has complete cooked, add one handful of spinach and one handful of enokitake mushrooms. Boil for 2 more minutes on high, and then turn off the heat. Since I added some of the sauce from the marinated beef in the stew, I didn’t have to add any other seasonings. However, if your stew is not salty enough, add a little.
You can eat this with just rice: no side dishes required!

Olá,
adorei o seu site! Eu não gosto muito desses tipos de comida, mas achei muito interessante esses pratos, e essa receita também. Não sei se um dia provarei, mas esse pelo menos, acho que deve ser bem gostoso.
Eu li nos post, que a senhora está grávida ^^ Parabéns, e eu espero que o seu filho venha com muita saúde e que seja muito esperto! Parabéns de verdade! ^^
beijo*
hi Malu,
oops.. sorry.. I can’t understand your language..what did you say ?? ^^:;
p.s Olá —>maybe this means “hi” ??? hehe
Here is a quick translation to English — Seems pretty good for google translate.
Hello,
love your site! I do not like these types of food, but I found these very interesting dishes, and this recipe as well. Do not know if one day prove, but that at least I think it should be pretty good.
I read the post, that you are pregnant ^ ^ Congratulations, and I hope your son comes with a lot of health and is very smart! Congratulations indeed! ^ ^
kiss *
hi Brian,
Oh.. thank you.. ^^ You are very kind.
about to make this. can i buy the pre-make bulgogi sauce? if yes. hiw can i meassure them. thank you.
hi nat,
Yes you can use premade bulgogi sauce.. just follow the instruction the sauce has.. ^^ thanks
Thank you for answering. I have problem with cellophane noodles. All the juice gone when I put the noodles in.
hi nat,
Boil the noodles first seperately then… and add the cooked noodles in the very last moment.. so you will not lose much broth then.. ^^
I have been trying your recipe with no success 🙁 I’m a soldier in the Army and was stationed in Yongsan during the winter and this dish would hit the spot whenever i got a chance to get it…I can make the bulgogi fine but the broth (my favorite part) could it be because of the fat etc that cooks with it? can i just strain it out?? help cause i really want to eat this again….thanks for all your help
hi Leegro,
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t get any success to try my recipes so far. What kind of dishes did you try and what was the problem ?? anyway…about your question, didn’t understand your question exactly.. you are asking.. drain the fat from bulgogi to cook this dish? if you keep the bulgogi in the refrigerator for sometime.. it might get hard (milky color) fat… it’s up to you.. you can just use it for this recipe..or remove it and cook. thanks
I made the soup and am verify happy with the results. I had to tweak it a bit because I don’t have the ingredients that are accessible like the enoki mushrooms, Asian pear juice and white sugar. I used portobello mushrooms and brown sugar. Thank you Aeri, I did purchase your book. There was recipes on your site that reminded me of my years living in Yongsan and Osan.
Do you have the recipe for the little custard pastrys shaped as little fishes or corn husks that they sell in the subway stations? Those were my favorite! 😆
hi Karletha,
Thanks for trying my recipes. 🙂 Happy to hear that you got good result. About your request, you mean.. the fish shape bread has red bean paste filling in it ?? I will add it to my list. thanks 🙂
Hi Aeri
I cooked your Clay Pot Bulgogi. my family like it,my daughter loves it much.
I am glad that I can find all your Korean seasoning since there are lots of Korean living in Here.Thank you very much Aeri.

If you search soy bean paste on my blog.. you can find different kinds of recipes that I used soy bean paste.
I didn’t post any recipe using black bean rice..I will add it to my list.. thanks
Hi thank you for all your recipes. I purchased the clay pot but could not find the bottom portion that you lay the pot on to protect the table. What is it called? Where could I buy it? I couldn’t find it in the Korean grocery store thank you. Please reply.
hi Rose,
I don’t have it either. I use just Trivet or hot pot pad.. sorry for poor answer ^^:;
