Yakiniku - Original Sauce by emimemo

Yakiniku : "Yaku / Yaki" means bake or fry and "Niku" means Meat in Japanese.

Yakiniku (Pulgogi in Korea) is usually barbecued on the grill or light fried in the pan.

I created this sauce for cooking competition at the Korean cultural center festival in LA.

So, it is original and it is different from other Yakiniku sauce.

Although I didn't win the competition, the lady from Korea complemented my sauce, so I am happy about it.

Ingredients

• Thin sliced beef 1 pound
• Chopped onion 10 tbs ( scallions are better )
• Sugar 3 tbs
• Sake 4 tbs
• Soy sauce 6 tbs
• Garlic 2 tbs
• Sesame Oil 2 tbs
• Ground sesame seeds 2 tbs

How to cook

1. Mix sugar, sake, soy sauce, garlic ground sesame seeds in the bowl.
2. Soak the beef in the sauce for a few hours. ( If you are in the hurry, you don't have to wait so long. When you use thin sliced beef, it is fast to get seasoned. )
3. Pour sesame oil to the frying pan.
4. Add sliced onions. ( If you are using scallions, add white part of them now and green part of them later to keep nice green color. )
5. Fry with medium heat until all meat cooked and the sauce gets caramelised.

This meal is so simple and easy to make. Only 5 steps!

It is pretty good with white rice.

I proud of this sauce, please try it.
