Instructions
1

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

2

Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, mixing well to combine.

3

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup of chopped kimchi, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of gochujang (Korean chili paste) to create the spicy kimchi slaw.

4

Mix well and set aside. Warm 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

5

To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the bulgogi-style ground beef on each tortilla, followed by a scoop of the spicy kimchi slaw.

6

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy the fusion of flavors!
