Pulkogi is heaven.

You can find various recipes. Search for pulkogi, pulgogi, bulgogi, bulgoki. Cut up your beef or pork very thin slices. Soy sauce, sugar, korean red pepper paste,

sesame oil and/or sesame seeds, yellow or green onion, garlic, ginger. Marinate it over night. Fry it up. Make your Chinese style sticky rice. Take some leafy lettuce (not iceberg!) and place it out. Eat lettuce wrap style, with a little rice, piece of meat, then optionally add thin slices of garlic, small pieces of kimche, and/or a dab of samjang (samchang).

Or ignore the lettuce and just chow down the meat and rice.

Yakiniku

Similar to Korean pulkogi but without the marinade and the lettuce wrap. Just fry up a bunch of meat, tofu, and assorted veggies, and dip into a Yakiniku sauce you buy at an Asian market with your rice

I also make a delicious Koreanized curry dish--stewed carrots, onions, chicken/beef with thick brown curry.
