whats the difference between “bulgogi” and “stir fry”?
The korean unli place in our area has the best stir fry and bulgogi. Tried making it at home but they had the same ingredients, so i was wondering what made a difference in their taste and appearance? picture for reference

Not sure what you’re asking exactly. Stir fry is an english word that describes a cooking technique. Bulgogi is a name of a number of styles of cooked meat dishes from korea that may or may not be stir fried. Typically bulgogi isn’t really a stir fry dish although you could loosely call it that.

I‘d guess with with stir fry OP means 제육 볶음? That would be a different recipe OP, just look up Jeyuk Bokkeum.

Judging from the second picture, the “strifry” you’re asking about is 제육볶음 jeyuk bokkeum. Jeyuk is another word for pork and bokkeum means stirfried. So a spicy pork bulgogi, another word is 돼지불고기 dwaejibulgogi , pork bulgogi (bulgogi is usually made with beef).
Bulgogi meant it meat that was flame grilled on a open fire until it was later modified for modern home cooking for practical reasons. Stir-fry is well you already know.

Jeyukbokkeum: Stir-fried pork with spicy sauce
Bulgogi: Pork or beef that is marinated a while before cooking, may be stir-fried.
Those two are very similar so people may use them interchangeably
