     1/2  cup           Water
   3      tablespoons   Finely Chopped Green Onion
   3      teaspoons     Crushed Garlic
   2      teaspoons     Finely Minced Fresh Ginger
     1/2  teaspoon      Black Pepper
   1      tablespoon    Sugar

Bulgogi or Bulgalbi, broiled (grilled) beef strips and beef ribs
respectively, exemplify an age-old tradition of cooking on a curved iron
hotplate - a tradition that is matched in northern China and neighboring
Mongolia as introduced by the Manchurians.  Today this has been streamlined
for table service, with specially built cone-shaped hotplates fitted over
tabletop burners, to provide an enjoyable and intimate eating experience.
Meats of all kinds, including mutton, pork and poultry, offal and seafood,
are cooked in this way, being first marinated in a spicy mixture
encompassing the characteristic seasonings: soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic,
ginger, pepper or chili, toasted sesame seeds and green onions. The meat is
marinated well in advance so that the flavor is intense. Cooking time is
minimal - just enough to cook through and seal the surface. Serve Bulgogi
with white rice and yangnyum kanjang sauce, together with a selection of
accompaniments such as kim chee (chili pickled cabbage) and jeot khal
(spiced whitefish). ~------------------------------------------------------
cut into narrow strips.  In a glass or stainless steel dish mix all
remaining ingredients together. Add the beef and stir thoroughly. Cover and
let marinate for at least 3 hours.
 Preheat a tabletop broiler (griller), protecting the tabletop with an
asbestos mat or other suitable heat shield.
 Each diner, or the host/hostess, places a portion of meat on the broiler
(griller) and cooks it quickly on both sides. The meat is dipped into the
sauce before eating. Use wooden chopsticks or small forks/fondue forks.
