How people cook with it
This marinade is perfect for quickly preparing traditional Korean dishes. It works wonderfully with various meats and vegetables.
- Marinate beef for grilling
- Season chicken or pork
- Flavor stir-fries

Ensure the meat is well-coated. For best results, let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or longer for deeper flavor penetration, up to several hours. You can then grill, pan-fry, or broil the marinated meat until cooked through. It can also be added to stir-fries or used as a flavorful glaze for grilled vegetables.
