Servings: 1 batch
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy sauce
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup mirin rice wine
- ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons gochujang paste chili paste
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger grated
Instructions
- Make the marinade. Combine all the ingredients for your marinade in a gallon-size zip-top bag or a large glass bowl. Whisk vigorously until everything is incorporated and the sugar dissolves completely.1 cup soy sauce, ½ cup dark brown sugar, ¼ cup mirin, ¼ cup rice wine vinegar, 2 Tablespoons gochujang paste, 1 Tablespoon sesame oil, 4 cloves garlic, 2 teaspoons fresh ginger
- Marinate the meat. Your marinade is ready to use right away, and will cover 2-3 pounds of meat. Use it on chicken, beef, or any other Korean BBQ you love. Add the meat, then seal the bag or cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator. Marinate for at least 4 hours, but I recommend going overnight. Don’t marinate longer than 24 hours or the meat can start to break down.
