Make Kalbi Marinade

Kalbi gives meat a delicious sweet soy flavor and an amazing tenderness; the optional red pepper flakes add a little fire. In addition to the traditional ribs, this oh-so-addicting marinade is quite wonderful with flank steak, pork tenderloin, chicken, sea scallops, shrimp/vegetable kebabs and salmon. It also works wonderfully well to marinate some sushi-grade tuna in it and then serve chopped into a martini glass over a little shredded lettuce, sliced avocado and shrimp.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons raw sugar
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps

1. Whisk all of the ingredients together.
2. Place the meat on a flat dish. Marinate the meat with the mixture and cover the dish for 12 hours or overnight. Seafood only needs to be marinated for two hours.
3. Drain and discard any remaining liquid before grilling or broiling your meat or fish.
4. Finished.

Tips

• If you add the optional red pepper flakes, the longer you marinate the food, the more "kick" it will have.
• This recipe is intended for 1 pound of meat. It can also easily be doubled or tripled.
