A traditional, sweet and savory bulgogi sauce recipe featuring fresh Asian pear, ginger, and garlic for the perfect Korean BBQ experience.
Ingredients
1/2 cup soy sauce (naturally brewed)
1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 Asian pear, finely grated
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Step 1: Peel the Asian pear and grate it using a fine grater until you have about 1/2 cup of pulp and juice.
Step 2: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Step 3: Add the grated Asian pear, minced garlic, grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil to the soy sauce mixture.
Step 4: Stir in the finely chopped green onions, black pepper, and toasted sesame seeds.
Step 5: Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well-combined. Your bulgogi sauce recipe is now ready to use as a marinade or a dipping sauce.
Step 6: If marinating meat, pour the sauce over thin slices of beef and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Notes
For best results, use within 7 days. If you cannot find Asian pear, use a sweet apple like Fuji or Gala.
