Main Ingredients- 1 small onion
- A small bunch of chives (adjust to your preference)
Sauce Seasoning (Golden Ratio)- 1/2 Tbsp mustard (tube or powder)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1/2 Tbsp mustard (tube or powder)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 2 Tbsp water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash and prepare the onion and chives. To achieve that classic Korean BBQ style, slice the onion as thinly as possible. Using a vegetable peeler (mandoline slicer) is a great way to get thin, uniform slices. Cut the chives into 3-4 cm lengths for easy eating.
Step 2
Let’s make the delicious sauce by mixing the ingredients. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp vinegar, and 2 Tbsp water. Stir well. This ratio is the foundation of the flavor; if you want to make a larger batch, simply scale up all ingredients proportionally.
Step 3
Here’s the secret to that signature Korean BBQ kick! Add the mustard, which provides that slightly pungent and spicy note. 1/2 Tbsp is a good starting point, but feel free to adjust it to your liking. It’s important to stir the mustard thoroughly until it’s well dissolved into the sauce, ensuring no clumps remain. (If using mustard powder, you can mix it with a little warm water first to form a paste.)
Step 4
Arrange the thinly sliced onions and chives attractively on a serving plate. Pour the freshly made sauce evenly over the top. Your delicious onion soy sauce dressing is now ready!
Step 5
Taste the sauce! The slightly sharp kick from the mustard, balanced perfectly with the sweet and sour notes, truly replicates the authentic Korean BBQ flavor. It’s wonderful on its own or as a topping for grilled meats.
Step 6
Wrap some juicy grilled meat and a generous portion of this dressed onion salad in a fresh lettuce leaf for an incredibly satisfying bite. When you’re planning a special home-cooked Korean BBQ meal, be sure to make this simple yet flavorful onion soy sauce dressing. It will undoubtedly enhance your dining experience!
