Bulgogi- lettuce wraps
Super simple, tasty (and low carb!) bulgogi lettuce wraps consist of succulent, marinated meat (most commonly beef or pork) wrapped in a piece of leafy, green lettuce. Depending on which region of South Korea you’re visiting, the dish will vary slightly, but they’re always delicious.
