Tuesday’s Cupful: Kalbi Marinade

The secret is in this sauce

Kalbi marinade is a nice departure from the popular tomato-based and smoked-flavored bottled sauces on many store shelves. Also, try using this sauce on pork country ribs or chicken pieces for grilling. The sesame oil and sesame seeds give it a distinct flavor. Here is our recipe for the sauce:

What you will need:

1 wooden spoon
1 medium-sized bowl
½ cup green onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped small
2 tablespoons cup sesame oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey*
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup or three tablespoons of rice wine vinegar

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in bowl and mix well. Let short ribs, chicken pieces, or pork country ribs marinade in sauce overnight. Grill meat as usual; however, be careful not to overcook or burn the since there is a significant amount of sugar in the sauce.

*some cooks use apple sauce or brown sugar as the sweetner
