Been watching a ton of the YouTube shorts of Korean office lunches, and tbh they look incredible. Don’t have the budget for trying a whole Korean restaurants menu so wondering if anyone’s got some home cooked favourites I can have a crack at making.

    No, not really. Maybe just start with a simpler one like this where the sauce has fewer and more common ingredients. You don’t even need the fish/oyster sauce - my partner just uses soy sauce, sugar and corn syrup (and sometimes a little corn starch for thickening and chilli for heat). If you don’t already have soy sauce at home, buy some Kikkoman as the flavour is more consistent with Korean cooking. If you buy gochujang as well you can combine that with the soy sauce to make a similar dish - dakbokkeumtang. Just remember to add garlic and spring onion too as they contribute a lot to the flavour of both dishes.
