Korean Barbecue Sauce

  • Makes 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup soy sauce, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 cup palm sugar or granulated sugar , plus more or less to taste
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed and minced
  • 8 green onions, minced
  • 2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 4 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Pour the soy sauce into a saucepan, add the sugar, set over low heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Taste and correct the sweet-salt balance.

  2. Stir in the garlic, onions, ginger, sesame oil and sesame seeds, remove from the heat and cool.

  3. Use immediately or pour into a jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

It is worth the effort to get palm sugar if at all possible, as it contributes subtle flavors that granulated sugar does not have.
