How to Make Korean Marinade
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 medium apple (cored and chopped), 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 2 inches ginger (peeled and minced), 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup sake, and 1/4 cup mirin. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, until the mixture has reduced by half, about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours (longer is better – up to 3 days). The flavors will meld beautifully overnight!
- Strain the marinade through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container, discarding the solids.
- Your delicious Korean BBQ marinade is ready! This recipe yields approximately 2 cups. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
