Osam Bulgogi is a popular Korean stir-fried dish that combines squid (ojingeo) and pork belly (samgyeopsal) in a spicy and savory marinade. This flavorful dish is loved for its perfect harmony of tender squid and rich, fatty pork belly, creating a delightful contrast in texture and taste.

The marinade is typically made with gochujang (Korean red chili paste), gochugaru (red pepper flakes), soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and a touch of sugar to balance the spiciness with a hint of sweetness. Fresh vegetables such as onions, green onions, carrots, and cabbage are stir-fried together with the squid and pork, adding crunch and balancing the flavors.

Osam Bulgogi is often served with steamed rice to complement the spicy sauce and can also be wrapped in lettuce or perilla leaves for a fresh, Korean-style wrap. This dish is not only a great main course but also a popular choice as an anju (a dish paired with alcoholic beverages), especially with soju. Its bold, spicy flavors and satisfying combination of seafood and meat make it a beloved dish in Korean cuisine.
