BULGOGI AND KIMCHI QUESADILLA

Honestly, this was made without much planning and I happened to have all the ingredients on hand and voila…. bulgogi and kimchi quesadilla. A while ago I made some seasoned sliced beef or known as bulgogi in Korean. Bulgogi is highly popular Korean beef dish. I was craving for something slightly crispy, with some Asian twist, and trying to make use of the kimchi before they went expired and thought I would try making some healthy quesadillas again. I enjoy the combination of taste in there and lunch in no time again and seriously…you can be creative and make your own combination.

Preparing the bulgogi:

Assembling and cooking:

• Smear a bit of oil on a non-stick pan and preheat the pan until hot. Place 1 tortilla wrap on a clean surface. Place 1/4 of the bulgogi on the wrap follow by 1/4 cup of chopped kimchi. Sprinkle with about 2 oz of mozzarella cheese. Fold the wrap over into half circle. Place on top of the hot pan and crisp until the tortilla wrap has nice golden brown and the cheese is melted. Slightly press on it with your clean hand. Flip to the other side and let it cook to golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately
