Ingredients

1 servings

¼ sweet onion ((75 g; grated, with juice))
3 cloves garlic
⅛ tsp ginger ((grated))
¼ tsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
¼ cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp sugar
½ Tbsp toasted white sesame seeds
1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Steps

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.
Serve in individual dipping plates alongside a Teppanyaki meal, Fresh Spring Rolls with Yakiniku, or your favorite grilled delicacies.
Store in the refrigerator and use it within 2 weeks.
