Trader Joe's Korean Beefless Bulgogi is a vegan take on the classic Korean BBQ dish, featuring marinated soy protein strips in a sweet-and-savory bulgogi-style sauce. It delivers bold flavor and a chewy, satisfying bite—surprisingly impressive for a frozen entrée. With its strong protein content, it’s a hearty addition to bowls or wraps, but the high sodium and added sugar keep it in the “occasional” category. Enjoy it when you’re craving something saucy, smoky, and satisfying, and balance the rest of your day with lighter, whole-food staples.
