Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce or light soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup applesauce See Note 1, unsweetened
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp ginger approximately 2-inch piece, peeled, grated fresh
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds toasted
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 4 green onions trimmed and roughly chopped, scallions
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (optional for heat)

Instructions

  1. Using a blender or stick blender, purée all the marinade ingredients together until smooth. Use as-is as a marinade for bulgogi beef or other meat.
  2. To use as a dipping sauce, add marinade to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until marinade reduces and thickens to desired consistency. Allow sauce to cool before using.

Notes

  • Traditionally an Asian pear is used, if they are hard to find, a sweet Bosc pear or apple works. I often times use applesauce if on hand as well.
  • Recipe yields 1 3/4 cups of marinade (enough for 2-3 pounds of meat), or when reduced, approximately 1 1/4 cups (20 Tbsp) of sauce.
  • Nutritional information shown is for 10 servings (2 Tbsp each) of sauce.
