I don't know if you have noticed, but Koreans love their meat! This makes it very difficult for vegans to eat Korean food sometimes, especially at restaurants where they use meat/ seafood broth for everything they make. So today, I want to show you guys how to make our meat wraps (commonly seen at Korean BBQ restaurants), vegan while still preserving the Korean flavors!
Instead of beef or pork, you can use mushrooms to mimic the texture of the meat. I like shiitake mushrooms but I know some people don't like their "mushroom-y" taste.
Next step is getting your bulgogi marinade to marinate your mushrooms. You can easily find this at your local Korean market or sometimes at other Asian markets. Make sure they don't contain meat in the ingredients. The one shown below, Wang brand, is vegan!
After letting the mushrooms sit in the sauce for some time. Time to saute saute saute!
And see how easy it was to make Korean meatless wraps? I like to wrap mine in red leaf lettuce, perilla leaves, green onion strips, with some ssam-jang (spicy bean paste). Make sure your ssam-jang has no meat or seafood broth in it, and you are all good to go.
Say ahhh~
