Dinner Tonight: korean pork bbq marinade - Yangnyeom Dwaeji Galbi test and sides served










testing a dish from futuredish.com/korean-pork-bbq-marinade-perfected


2-3 lbs Pork Collar or Butt - butchered into 1/2" slices and scored front and back


1 c Water
1/2 onion
1 pear
2 large pieces of Ginger 
2  Spring Onions white and green
2 tbsp garlic


3/4 cup soy sauce - increase to 1 cup (it was light on salt) 
3/4 cup brown sugar 
2 tbsp sesame oil (forgot to put it in and it was still good but lacking) 
1/2 Tablespoon Chinese Hot Mustard or 1 tsp wasabi powder  - increase, didn't notice heat at all 

1 350 ml can of coca-cola - this diluted the other spices, i want to use half next time. 


place the water, onion, pear, ginger, spring onions, and garlic into a blender and blend smooth. 
next, add everything but the coca-cola into the blender and combine.

take the pork and butcher into cutlets around 1/2" then score the meat on both sides to help the marinade get in. marinate overnight for about 24 hours. 

grilling: they usually use a Korean bbq grill top which is solid with not open like a hibachi but we are hibachi- ing the pork and we will see how it goes since the marinade is very wet. 

i'll report back later..........

GRILL REPORT: we used the bigger charcoal grill and the meat turned out fantastic. there were no issues with the wet marinade.
