Recipe: Korean BBQ Sauce and Marinade

Ingredients:

Fresh chopped garlic
Sesame oil
Soy Sauce
Fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions:

The soy sauce to sesame oil ratio is 1 part sesame oil to 2 to 6 parts soy sauce depending on the fat content of your meat - also Koreans love garlic. This recipe can be augmented with chopped scallions, chopped onions, fresh ginger, finely chopped carrot, perhaps a pinch of sugar, perhaps a splash of herbed vinegar, perhaps a dash of salt and hot pepper paste (Korean hot red peppers are around jalapeno land in warmth and the red pepper paste has sweet, sour and salty tones to it in keeping with the oriental cooking philosophy). This can be applied to everything from fish, chicken and pork - to dog believe it not. Obviously you wouldn't want to marinade fish too long, but baste it as it cooks instead, but it works as a marinade for other cuts of meat just fine.
