In this video, I show you how to make what I call sweet Korean lentils. This dish isn't actually Korean at all- this is my version of a vegan bulgogi recipe. I use lentils instead of beef to make a delicious vegan Korean recipe that tastes just like Korean bulgogi. Sweet, salty, spicy, umami, this vegetarian Korean recipe is full of flavour and delicious when served with rice and a side of greens.

[@shaneywaney2]

Just found this video, then binged a lot of your other videos. You've got yourself a new subscriber ahaha. Your personality is infectious and the food looks so good. Definitely gonna help me become less of a boring vegan ahaha❤️❤️❤️

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Awww shucks, thank you so very much!!! Totally thrilled you are enjoying my videos so much! Welcome to my channel :D

[@shaneywaney2]

It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken I also made these lentils today! They were delicious Omg!!! They were so delicious that over the course of day I ate the entire amount of them, OOPS! Thank you though ahaha❤️

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Haha! That's awesome! Thrilled you enjoyed them so much :)

[@leavemealone1022]

Hey, thanks for the lovely recipe! So easy and delicious💕 I am a Korean and since I became a vegetarian, I was craving Bulgogi everyday! In Korea, we use finely ground apple or Korean pear (or any sweet pear) instead of sugar! Alternatively, you can also use corn syrup for stickiness.

[@ceilhook4135]

I tried this recipe last week. It was delicious! My mom and I enjoyed it a lot.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Awesome!! SO happy you enjoyed it :)

[@justme03ish]

This is one of the first recipes I discovered from your blog when I went vegan and it is so good! I've lost count how many times I've made it. I make it with green lentils as I prefer that texture more but it's still an amazing flavor bomb.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Oh that's so awesome!! Thrilled you love it so much, Eden :)

Sweet Korean Lentils - Vegan Bulgogi

[@shawnp0wers]

This recipe is so much tastier than it should be. I have several Korean exchange students, and they also really love this. I usually triple or quadruple the recipe and we all have it for lunch many days in a row. :) Seriously, really great job. This is incredible!

[@FunkyToe369]

I read somewhere on the internet that the sharper your knife, the less onion "gas" comes out and thus less tears. I sharpened my knife recently, which was still pretty sharp, and it helped a lot. Could be worth trying especially if you are getting onion tears every time you have to cut onions haha.

[@Anikoxx]

Evan Fleet it is so true!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yes, that is for sure true! I do sharpen my knives regularly but perhaps right before cutting an onion would be even better. Also storing your onions in the fridge, wearing glasses, chewing gum while you cut... all of those things help but I also just think I have annoyingly sensitive eyes! Hahaha

[@caritodoo]

I put my onions in the fridge. And that help a lot! Much less crying 😉

[@jackiecuba3414]

This dish has been become part of my dinner rotation. Low effort and super satisfying.

[@chesno21]

This is one of my favorites! I have make this often from your blog! Love that you are doing videos now too! You are the best :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Aww shucks, thank you so much!! So happy you are enjoying the videos too :)

[@byusaranicole]

Lentil Bulgogi? Holy crap, yes! I think I'll add in some mushrooms and carrots.... :)

[@naty365]

Awesome!

[@sophiewinkler7549]

You are a glorious human being. You cook delicious, simple food. You know what you’re talking about. You have a beautiful aesthetic which is not a rehash of all the other vegan cooking channels. You bring light and colour to my day. I love it.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Oh wow!!! Thank you so very much, Sophie! You totally made my day :D

[@aradiapellegrinawolf7503]

This was my first recipe of yours that I tried! So delicious! Even my non-vegan mom asked for the recipe and makes it all the time!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

That's awesome! Thrilled you enjoyed it so much!!

[@jessicaelliott4597]

I found this on pintrest and i LOVE it. My go to meal. I’ve adjusted it slightly to how i like it. I use brown lentils so i cook mine with 2cups veggie stock and the sauce(i like mine slightly over done so its like Korean refried beans in a way) i add ponzu and garlic chili sauce to the sauce as well.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Thrilled you love it so much!!

[@infinitelovegratitude5789]

Thank you Sam!!! Looks scrumptious!

[@DawnMarie567]

Looks yummy!

Enjoy!

[@CrucioIMVU]

THank you!

[@nancykash1213]

I found this recipe in 2019 right after I went vegan. I have made it many, many times and shared it with so many people. Still one of my favorites. Thank you 😋

[@analevak9858]

Oh this sounds amazing! When you started talking about Bulgogi, I thought, oh no, this is going to be one of those recipes that call for unpronounceable ingredients that are impossible to find in my corner of the world, but actually I have all of the ingredients for this at home! (Well except sesame oil to be honest.) That's fuss free at its finest! Making this for lunch tomorrow! Thanks Sam :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yay! I hope you love it, Ana. Yes, I almost always use very easy to find ingredients in my recipes. There are rare exceptions but they are rare and are always for very important reasons. Haha!

[@analevak9858]

It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken I know and that's what I love about your recipes! Even when you live in Southeast Europe, where simplest things like tofu and avocado are exotic foods, you can find most ingredients for your recipes. Keep up the good work 🙂

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

So happy to hear that :)

[@byusaranicole]

The red lentils are actually the "weirdest" ingredient on the list for me since I LOOOVE Korean cooking. I think I have like 4 bottles of sesame oil.... LOL!

[@jechulso]

Wow looks interesting recipe and yummy as well!!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Thank you so much!

[@lizstarr5]

Cannot WAIT to try this! Looks amazing! Planning on picking up some frozen sticky rice for the foundation! YUM!!!!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Oh I love sticky rice!!

[@zubaerchaudhari8267]

This is one of my favorite food! I really always enjoy all your best video

Wow! This sounds fantastic!! I just bought lentil yesterday and I'll use them to make this! Thanks!!

I just tried this and it was so delicious! And a big plus for ingredients that are easy to find in most parts of the world! 😀

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yay!! So happy you loved it! Yes, I almost always try to use easy to find ingredients :)

[@tillycomedy2194]

This sounds great! I need to incorporate more fibre in my diet and this looks like a great way to do it!

[@412music412]

i'm on a binge of your videos right now ahh i love your channel! every one of your recipes i try is SO good- i can't wait until i have my own place (aka move out of my college dorm) so i can make more vegan food. i'm vegetarian and dairy-free now but once i can cook for myself ill probably be fully vegan and make ALL your recipes

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Awww that's so awesome!!! Thank you for enjoying my videos and recipes so much :D

[@marygordon8293]

I literally love every recipe I’ve tried of yours. Thank you!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

YAY! That's so awesome!!!

[@whatamunky]

oooh this looks SO delicious!!!!!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@jasonkim5503]

I am Korean, and this really seems like an awesome alternative to beef slices. Her “sauce”, dare I say, is pretty authentic, really, as the bulgogi recipe itself is rather simple and greatly varies by individual cooks and/or households.

[@tinadelia3746]

I adore lentils and the flavors in this are amazing. I think this will be one of my go-tos.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Oh I think you're going to love this :)

[@conniesison4250]

Now I have an idea what to do on my lentils. Hey, thank you for sharing your videos 🥰

[@ranu800]

It was also magical this time! Always always have a nice smile and you can work comfortably from the morning! Let 's make this for dinner! It will be!

[@Rose_from_UK]

Onion hack, put the pan lid on top of the onions whilst you chop the rest. But to save eyes, cut the root area last ( or not at all) as that’s where the tear juice is

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Oooh! I love that idea!

[@madonnella]

Don’t forget to rinse the lentils well first! Need to try the recipe.. looks so delish. 😍

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Meh, I never rinse lentils. Haha. You can of course tho! I hope you enjoy the recipe :)

[@cathym3708]

It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken omg, I love this response. Thank goodness. I haven’t been rinsing them either. HA!

[@Supercat2k]

Love this recipe. I have now made it twice and it will be on our meal rotation!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yay!!! Thrilled you love it so much :)

[@taragoulding5889]

Love this recipe so much! Have made it a few times, so easy and delicious.

Yay! SO happy to hear that :)

[@annieskinner8524]

I loveeeeeeee this recipe! So easy and I always have pretty much all the ingredients making it a pretty much free dinner! The first time I made it my husband's reaction was 'mmmmmm what's this brown stuff? It's amazing!' He loves it! Such a delicious and quick meal!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

YAY! Thrilled you and your husband love it so much, Annie :) I always have the ingredients on hand too!

You're a very good presenter Sam. You have a natural flair. Can see you're developing them editing skills too. Great vid and dish :)))

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

JULES!!! You're way too kind! You're the amazing video maker. Seriously, if we lived closer I would force you to work with me. (And by force I mean bribe you with delicious vegan food, bourbon, and pretty pleases). Ha!

[@TheEasyVegan]

Sounds like a deal to me! Surely I can pay for flights with Bourbon right!?

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Seems reasonable to me.

This is one of the first dishes I ever made from your site - totally my favorite to this day :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Aww yay! Thrilled it's your favourite!!!

[@jasonkim5503]

Wow, this recipe seems really promising!!! I alway consume canned lentils, but perhaps I should venture out to actually cooking it from my own kitchen. Wish me luck! Something tells me, though, I’ll try this recipe with the canned lentils first. Cause I know how lazy and impatient I am. Will let you know if that works. I suppose I’ll have to make the sauce with much less water and simmer the whole thing, so the flavor will soak in, rather than boiling to cook it.

[@susanneattia5953]

New subscriber here, really enjoyed your video, your personality is infectious. I’m just starting out as a vegan so your channel is going to be a huge inspiration for me💞

[@FinancialLiteracyaMust]

Hi awesome recipie!!! My sweet 4yr old helped me make this scrumptious recipie. However can't figure out what I did wrong, I cooked it on low, fire notch was 1 below 4 & in 10 min it was full of water, so i cooked it another 10 min w the lid 1/2 on, and I used organic red lentils. The water cood down but the lentils were very mushy. Do you think the fire should have been lower. I didn't want them to boil on 4 but, Im at a total loss???

[@nishapatelism]

Hi Sam! Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes! For this recipe was wondering if you had any ideas for alternatives to Onion/garlic as I do not eat them. Celery in place of onions?Love your enthusiasm! :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Hi!! You're most welcome, I am so glad you are enjoying my content :) Hmmm... onions and garlic are my favourite so that's a tricky one. They are more for flavour that texture, so maybe try bumping up some of the other spices?

[@nishapatelism]

It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken Will try that, thank you for the quick reply!

[@nishapatelism]

This is delicious!!!!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Muhahahaha! My evil plan is working!!

[@reachtrita]

You’re so pretty and fun to watch! We love Korean food and have been veganizing them with tofu or vegan meat. I’m making this today because Dr Gregor said lentils are the healthiest legume, yumm!! Ps. Korean food uses a lot of sesame oil, which would be amazing when added to this dish, too :)

Oh yum! 😀

I need to try this ASAP!🌱✨

[@prmesq]

my family LOVES this recipe. it's one of our go to 'super easy and the kids won't grumble' dinners. we use brown lentils because we just can't get the hang of red lentils. they always end up as (delicious) mush. you've veganized so many of my fave dishes and you rely on whole foods to do it. you rock! ps have you always had music in your videos? i don't remember anything competing for my attention before. sigh, prolly just another sign of me aging. ;-)

Yay!! So happy you love this recipe, Patricia! Yes, I always have music in my videos :)

How have I never noticed the music? I've watched every one of your videos *at least* once, often more! (Oops, I guess I just outed myself as a fangirl. Your recipes are just SO tasty and fuss-free! #cookinggoals) 😀

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Awww thank you so much :D

[@seitanicgirl]

I love adding flavoring into lentil cooking water. It makes them so much more flavorful than just adding sauce to cooked lentils. I make my tacos that way! I love adding flavoring into lentil cooking water. It makes them so much more flavorful than just adding sauce to cooked lentils. I make my tacos that way! If I want to make these oil-free, should I just omit the sesame oil, or do you think subbing a little tahini for that sesame flavor would work better?

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

You can just omit it, but if you have tahini on hand I am sure a touch of that would be great. Enjoy!
