Korean BBQ Marinade

This homemade Korean BBQ marinade offers a wonderful balance of savoury and aromatic flavours, making it an essential addition to any low-sugar diet. By using reduced-sodium soy sauce and a controlled amount of raw sugar, you can achieve that classic salty-sweet profile without the excessive refined sugars often found in shop-bought versions. Fresh ginger and toasted sesame oil provide a depth of flavour that beautifully enhances everything from lean minced beef to chicken breast or firm tofu.

Preparing this versatile sauce is incredibly simple and takes just minutes, making it ideal for a quick midweek meal or healthy weekend entertaining. For the best results, allow your chosen protein to marinate for several hours to ensure it fully absorbs the fragrant garlic and spring onion notes. High in flavour and light on sugar, it is a brilliant way to bring a taste of Seoul to your own kitchen.
