Korean BBQ Sauce - Chiles and Smoke

Ingredients

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 spring onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk together until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and gochujang to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors. This is where the magic begins!
  3. Next, pour the mixture into a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow it to bubble gently for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will thicken the sauce slightly and deepen the flavors.
  4. Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat. Stir in the sesame seeds for that extra crunch and flavor.
  5. Let the sauce cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a jar or airtight container for storage. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  6. When you’re ready to use it, simply drizzle it over grilled meats or use it as a marinade for your favorite dishes. Garnish with chopped spring onions for an added burst of freshness!
