Total time: 90 min
Ingredients: 1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak; 1/3 cup soy sauce; 1/4 cup brown sugar (firmly packed); 2 tablespoons sesame seeds; 1 tablespoon sesame oil; 3 cloves garlic (minced or crushed); 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger; 2 teaspoons oyster sauce; 1/2 cup sliced green onion; 1 pound rice noodles; 1 cup long grain white rice; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 2 cups shredded green cabbage; 1/2 cup barbecue sauce; 2 teaspoons rice vinegar; 2 teaspoons soy sauce; 2 teaspoons oyster sauce; 1 teaspoon sesame oil; 1 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/2 cup mayonnaise; 2-4 tablespoons sriracha hot sauce (to taste)

Rice noodles, rice, and cabbage, topped with delicious Korean bulgogi, drizzled with sriracha mayo and Korean barbecue sauce….it’s seriously so good!

So there’s this amazing food truck in Utah called Cupbop. It’s so popular it has expanded to multiple states with several permanent locations. I grew up eating bulgogi at home so a Korean food truck is something I could totally dig. They serve beef bulgogi (thinly sliced Korean beef) over noodles, rice, and cabbage with these totally delicious sauces. Cupbop is one of my favorite food trucks and I’ve chased it all over the place. But I swear, I have to drive 30 minutes to get to the food truck locations. Time to make my own recipe at home.

Now, those sauces are what makes the dish. It is served with a sriracha mayo and some kind of Korean barbecue sauce. Now, I don’t know if these are exactly what Cupbop uses in their truck, but I can tell you it is pretty dang good. I’ve decided to keep it quick by using a plain barbecue sauce and adding in Korean ingredients. It’s a nice little cheat.
