4. Add all the ingredients and stir properly.
5. Place the thinly sliced bulgogi beef in a deep bowl and pour half the marinade over. Mix properly with hand (using sanitary kitchen gloves)
6. Place the beef ribs on a separate plate. Pour the remaining marinade evenly over the beef ribs on both sides.
7. Leave the marinated beef aside for 10-15 minutes
8. Step 3: Prepare the vegetables
9. Slice the onion, zucchini, oyster mushroom and green pepper in thin pieces and place them on a plate
10. Step 4. Prepare the lettuce wrap Ssam-jang paste
11. Chop up the tofu and place them in the clay pot or sauce pan.
12. Add sesame oil, kochujang, dwenjang, pepper and garlic and mix properly.
13. Cook in med-low heat, covered for 10 minutes. (15 minutes if adding beef)
14. Step 5: Prepare the portable grill or skillet on the dining table with the vegetables, ssam jang, steamed rice and enjoy!
15. * Remember to pour 1 TBS of cooking/olive oil on the grill before adding vegetables and beef to prevent them from sticking or getting burned
16. Useful tips:

18. * Follow the 5 steps in the order as described above to keep the preparation and cooking time to 30 minutes.
