Ingredients
- 1 cup soy sauce (preferably low sodium soy sauce)
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 Asian pear (can substitute Fuji apple or other sweet apple)
- 4 green onions
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 10-12 cloves garlic (washed, peeled, tips trimmed off)
- 1 tsp fresh ginger
- 1 pinch msg
- 1/4 cup brown rice syrup (can substitute with maple syrup)
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup soju (can substitute with sparkling water)
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp potato starch
Instructions
- Rough chop all the vegetables and place the soy sauce in a blender together with the onion, green onion, Asian pear, red bell pepper, garlic, ginger, brown rice syrup, mirin, rice vinegar, msg, black pepper, and liquid smoke together with soju or 1 cup of water. Blend on high until smooth and frothy.
- Pour the marinade into a small saucepan over medium heat. Create a quick slurry by whisking the potato starch together with 1/4 cup cold water. Pour the slurry into the sauce pan and continue whisking the contents so as to avoid clumping.
- Mix regularly for about 5 minutes, until the sauce clarifies and thickens. Remove from heat and set it aside to cool for about 20 minutes. Then pour into a sterilized airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Your homemade Korean BBQ Sauce will stay good for several weeks!
