Osam bulgogi

오삼불고기

Korean dish made from squid and pork belly

About this dish

Osam-bulgogi (Korean: 오삼불고기) is a Korean dish made from squid (ojingeo in Korean) and pork belly (samgyeopsal in Korean), marinated in a blend of seasonings. The mixture is cooked over a griddle with an assortment of vegetables and mushrooms. The name “Osam” is derived from combining the first syllables of ojingeo (오징어, squid) and samgyeopsal (삼겹살, pork belly). The dish features thinly sliced pork belly and cleaned squid stir‑fried over high heat with a spicy‑sweet sauce typically based on red pepper paste (gochujang) and red pepper powder (gochugaru), often with garlic, onions, and other aromatics. The result is a vivid red, intensely flavored mixture showcasing the contrast between the fatty richness of pork and the chewy seafood texture of squid.
