Notes

  • Marinate Overnight – While you can start cooking your chosen dish after 10-30 minutes, the flavours will be so much richer if you allow it to marinate overnight.
  • Smooth Sauce - For an ultra smooth sauce, you can use a blender to really combine it all together.
  • Make it Spicy - Add a teaspoon of gochujang paste, gochugaru chilli flakes or even shichimi togarashi to amp up the heat!
  • Add Toasted Ground Sesame Seeds - For an extra depth of nutty, earthy flavour.
