+ 10 Poor mans Korean beef

So I’ve been making my beef, weigh out how much I need. Toss it back in the pain.
Then I mix up (all 0 cals)
• low sodium aloha shoyu (brand of soy sauce)
• garlic (minced if I’m lazy)
• 0 cal brown sugar
• minced ginger
• course black pepper
• garlic powder
Throw it in the pan on medium and it’ll cook down with the beef. 6oz beef, 275g rice, top with seaweed and sesame seeds and siracha.
Makes beef 100x better!

I use a similar medley to make bulgolgi out of leftover and/or budget cuts of beef. Personal favorite is sirloin. Only other things I occasionally add are red pepper flakes, honey, and sesame oil. Had a Korean GF who swore by crushed pear to tenderize the strips of meat and occasionally use that method when I have the time.
Shit looks good, ima try it out.
Did you use course* black pepper or coarse* black pepper?

Jrihard89LOL auto correct.
Coarse pepper is a stable on my smoking and BBQ
Damn that looks good
Bro. ALOHA SHOYU. You fuckin islanders!!!! Sup palalas! Musubi. Furikake. Mac salad. I’m done.
Jrihard89I’m a Haole boy as fuck!!
I made friends with an islander when I was in kindergarten, and they were family to me. In 7th grade we had to move to a shelter because we were homeless and my best friends mom even let me move in. Lived with them for 2 years.
Since I was 5 I’ve been around the culture! So it’s just a way of life for me and my wife now! I grew up with them so much in elementary too. I started to talk pidgin. Lol da kine explains everything if I can’t remember the right word and it drives my wife crazy!
When I was in 3rd grade I was at my buddies and his cousins dance practice laughing and his aunty goes you want lickins? You laugh but now you signed up. And made me learn all the dances too!
Sawp you faka! Lol
Lmao yessah das wassup my baddah!
Braahh--. You poly or micro braddah man? I use to live Waipahu on Oahu for about nine years. Before that was back on the rock, American Samoa.
Filipino my bro! 94block born and raised
Yessah! Pupuole my braddah! Lmao said fuck allahdat and moved to Texas. Sorry to insuate poly or micro. I’ve met couple micros on here from Washington lol.
The amount of fire pakalolo and soft coming from poop town is nuts lmao the memories
No worries uce. The micros here different than the micros up there. Broooo seen some baddies in Vegas. Thought they were Latina and bitch said she’s micro ongaaaaaahd she was dope from head to toe
Can’t go wrong with aloha shoyu and furikake! --
Jrihard89Stable in our house! I butchered the Furikake spelling LOL.
For my son’s birthday last summer he convinced me to make my shoyu chicken, homemade mac salad and musubi. Never freaking again. I was up at midnight marinating the chicken in 5 gallon buckets. Had to buy the aloha shoyu off Amazon for the gallon jugs! 35lbs of chicken. It was a nightmare. I’ll never forget my wife helping me and she goes how many cups of shoyu per bucket? And I just grab the gallon and pour it all in and she looked at me in disbelief
Lol brother that’s basically what Samoan bbq is. Chicken thighs and drumsticks marinated overnight in soy sauce mix with water, sugar and minced garlic. I don’t make 35lbs of it though so I can imagine the prep you did and the actual cooking lmao. I bet it was delicious and your son was happy you made it!!!! Aloha braddah!!
I made chicken katsu for a party brother. 15 pounds of chicken. NEVER FUCKIN DOING THAT AGAIN. Fuck no. Kicker…. I volunteered for that. Mac salad bro…. I like the OG heavy mayo type. ----
15lbs of chicken? And it was chicken katsu?!?! Whew that’s a lot of prep and cooking!! Lmao more power to ya Hawaiian haha.
Oh yeah that heavy mayo Mac salad!!! Fawkin ono dawg!
Good to see some fakas in here with island ties----
Did you toast the sesame seeds? Their flavor is more pronounced if you toast them. Just toss them in a hot pan without oil, their natural oils come out as you toast them. Also, wtf is 0 calorie brown sugar? I love brown sugar, if there's a 0 calorie version ill have to try it.
Jrihard89I didn’t it’s furukaki lol! It’s a Japanese and Polynesian seasoning that’s sesame seeds and seaweed! Super good on stuff!
Also this is the stuff! Walmart should have it. I get it at a local grocery store but it’s great for stuff like this!
Haha furukaki sounds like a Japanese sex position. Sounds pretty good.
Oh hell yeah, I'm buying that brown sugar tomorrow. That'd be awesome if it works with my wife's baklava she makes!
Fucking sideways pic
Dude, an excellent soy sauce replacement is Bragg liquid aminos, give it a try:
My wife got me in on this one. This is an awesome soy sauce substitute. I’ll use it anytime I need to use soy sauce. It’ll be a mix though, 80% of liquid aminos and 20% kikkoman for a little extra flavor and color.
Jrihard89I’ll have to get some! I’ve heard about this alternative!
This looks good as fuck, and that's coming from a man who is on Reta....well looks like I might have to up my dose now lol
Nah you would eat two bites and be full.. lol that what happened to me when I first started it.
I gotten to use to it at this point, tbh I feel like Tirz defiantly works better on the appetite side of shit.
