Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. If you like my previous recipe from 2014, please see the note below.
- Grate ¼ sweet onion. Make sure you collect all the juice.
- Transfer the grated onion and all of its juice to a mason jar or microwave-safe container. Mince or press 3 cloves garlic (I use a garlic press) and add to the jar.
- Grate the ginger (I use a ceramic grater) and collect ⅛ tsp ginger (grated).
- To the jar, add the grated ginger, ¼ tsp gochujang (Korean chili paste), ¼ cup soy sauce, and 2 Tbsp sugar.
- Add ½ Tbsp toasted white sesame seeds. Microwave the sauce for 30–35 seconds until it‘s hot enough to dissolve the sugar.
- Add 1 tsp toasted sesame oil and mix well. The Yakiniku Sauce is now ready to use.
To Serve
- Serve in individual dipping plates alongside a Teppanyaki meal, Fresh Spring Rolls with Yakiniku, or your favorite grilled delicacies.
To Store
- Store in the refrigerator and use it within 2 weeks.
