Homemade Yakiniku Sauce (Direct From My Korean Grandmother)

According to my grandmother, when she used to run her yakiniku restaurant her sauce became famous, and big food manufacturers asked her several times to sell them her recipe...I'm not sure if that story was true. Whenever I serve this sauce to my friends, they ask "Wow! Where is this sauce from?" and that makes me proud.

Commercial yakiniku sauce is surprisingly high in calories. I use artificial sweetener instead of sugar. This sauce is great for people following a low-carb or sugar restricted diet. You can omit the mirin and sake, but try to use a low-sugar sake. For a yakiniku (grilled meat/barbeque) party with 4 people. Recipe by Marie

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 100 mlUsukuchi soy sauce
  2. 1 tbspMiso
  3. 3 tbspor (to taste) Sugar
  4. 1 tbspGrated garlic
  5. 2 tspThe juice from grated ginger
  6. 1 tbspRed chili peppers (use Korean coarse or finely ground dried peppers if possible. You can use ichimi spice if you like, but it's very spicy so adjust the amount)
  7. 1Cooking sake
  8. 1Mirin

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put all the ingredients in a container, and mix with chopsticks.

  2. 2

    Simmer over medium heat to start, and when the surface starts to get wavy, turn down the heat to low and continue simmering and reducing. Adjust the sweetness and spiciness at this stage. When it tastes the way you like it, it's done.

  3. 3

    To keep the sauce, pour it into a jar that has been sterilized with boiling water. Store in the refrigerator and it will keep for a while since it has no water in it.

  4. 4

    Variation: Halve the sugar and add the equivalent amount of yuzu tea instead.

  5. 5

    Here I used it with griddle cooked pork. It's also good in nikujaga (simmered meat and potatoes) and stir-fried vegetables.
