We're big fans of Korean food but we want it to be the healthiest version possible. That's why I adapted my bulgogi sauce to be paleo-friendly. One of our favorites, Bulgogi (literally “fire meat”) is a dish made of thin, marinated slices of beef or pork grilled on a barbecue or on a stove-top griddle.

Many people choose to stir-fry in a pan at home as not all of us have the tools to barbecue the meat. After the meat is cooked, it is traditionally paired with a bowl of hot rice or lettuce leaves to make wraps. For the lettuce wrap, open leaf, then add a slice or two of Bulgogi, and a bit of kimchi if you like it.

For low carb, use this recipe with some riced cauliflower or miracle rice.

This recipe is for the sauce which can be used on whatever you like, chicken, fish, beef, burgers, you name it!

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup coconut Aminos
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or substitute Pyure Organic Confectioners Stevia Sweetener Blend Powdered Sugar Substitute
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1- inch knot ginger root peeled and minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup pureed apple
  • small bunch of scallions trimmed and sliced
  • 1 carrot shredded
  • 1/2 - 1 tablespoon Glucomannan powder or other thickener

Instructions
 

  • Mix all ingredients except xanthan gum together in a small saucepan, until it begins to simmer.
  • Reduce heat to lowest setting.
  • While whisking, mix in thickening powder.

Notes

If you substitute soy sauce or tamari instead of the coconut aminos, you may need to use a bit less and add a little extra sweetener. I prefer the taste of coconut aminos as it has a cleaner, sweeter taste whereas soy sauce and tamari are heavier and saltier. That's just my opinion!
Can be used to marinate beef, pork, or just to add on top of meat after cooking. Our family prefers Sirloin Steak sliced into bite-size pieces when making Bulgogi.

Nutrition information is calculated with Pyure Organic Confectioners Stevia Sweetener Blend, Powdered Sugar Substitute, if you use coconut sugar it will add another 12 grams of carbohydrates.

On a side note, the sauce makes a delicious accompaniment to burgers on or off the bun! Korean Bulgogi Sauce can be used as a topping or dip for my Salmon Onigiri as well.
