BULGOGI MARINADE & CHIP PREP
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Boil the kettle. Place the teriyaki sauce, sugar, diced onion, and grated garlic in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together until the sugar dissolves and season to taste. Add in the beef strips, toss to coat, and set aside to marinate. Place a pot for the skinny fries over a high heat. Fill with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and bring back up to the boil.
CRISP THE SKINNY FRIES
When the water is boiling rapidly, parcook the fries for 2-3 minutes. Remove on completion and place on some paper towel, keeping the pot of water on the heat for step 3. Pat the fries completely dry and place on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season to taste, and spread out in a single layer. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until evenly crispy, gently turning at least twice.
SNAPPY GREEN BEANS
Pop the sliced green beans in the pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes until cooked but still crunchy. Drain on completion and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Return to the pot, cover with a lid, and set aside to keep warm until serving.
COOK YOUR BULGOGI
When the fries have 10 minutes remaining, place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add in the beef strips, reserving the remaining marinade in the bowl for making the sauce. Fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked medium-rare, shifting regularly. On completion, transfer to a clean bowl. Cover to keep warm and set aside. Return the pan to a medium heat and pour in the reserved marinade. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced and sticky. Remove the pan from the heat and add in the cooked beef strips. Toss to coat in sauce and set aside for serving.
CHEESY FRIES
When the fries are cooked, sprinkle over the grated mozzarella and return to the oven for 3-4 minutes until melted and golden. Loosen the Kewpie mayo by gradually adding water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
