How to Make Korean BBQ Sauce?

Here is an easy step-by-step recipe for awesome delicious Korean BBQ sauce to spice up all your favourite dishes:

Peel and mince 3 garlic cloves and grate 3 tsp ginger.
Pour some sesame oil into a medium pan and place it on a stove at medium heat until it sizzles. Add the ginger and garlic to the hot oil and saute it for a minute.
Take a bowl of about ½ cup of low-sodium vegetable broth or water, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or your preferred choice of starch, and stir it well until the starch dissolves.
Add the remaining ingredients to your pan with sauteed garlic and ginger including 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of gochujang paste or sriracha, 3 tbsp maple syrup or your preferred liquid sweetener, and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar.
Mix them all well to ensure the flavours are distributed evenly.
Now add the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce’s consistency.
Let your Korean BBQ sauce boil. Once done, lower the heat to medium-low flame and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. This will help it thicken.
Pour the sauce into a glass jar with an airtight lid to store it well.
Your Korean BBQ sauce is now ready to eat.
