Korean BBQ Pizza
Korean barbecue, or bulgogi, gets a fun makeover in this creative fusion recipe that marries the flavors of Korean barbecue with the crispy crust and gooey-melting cheese of pizza. The result? A sweet, sticky, and savory dish that's perfect for any occasion.
The origins of this recipe are shrouded in mystery, but it's widely believed to have emerged from the bustling streets of Seoul, South Korea. As the country's capital and a melting pot of cultures, Seoul is renowned for its vibrant food scene, where culinary innovation knows no bounds. It was in one of Seoul's many bustling outdoor markets that a street vendor is said to have had a stroke of genius, combining the beloved flavors of bulgogi with the irresistible allure of pizza. Using sweet potato as a base for the crust, the vendor created a dish that was both crispy and chewy, providing a perfect canvas for the savory bulgogi sauce. The pizza quickly gained popularity, and soon, other vendors began to offer their own versions, leading to the creation of countless variations across the country. Today, Korean BBQ pizza remains a beloved street food staple throughout South Korea and has even started to gain recognition beyond its borders.
