What is the best recipe for Korean BBQ sauce?

This is a tough one, because we have many Korean stores around here that I don't know how to make it any more.

One thing my grandparents have done in the past is mix soy sauce, sugar, crushed whole ginger, crushed whole garlic, fresh green onions and some sesame oil. Everything is added to taste. If you are making KalBi, then soak the short ribs in this mixture for about a day. Cook them well done (but not overdone), otherwise they will be a little tough. Bulgogi is a little easier. Just soak the meat for a day or two then it's usually pretty tender. I would get thin sliced frozen rib eye and soak in the above mixture.

I cheat and buy it from the Asian market. We have H Mart here owned by Koreans. They have a deli/catering counter and prepare hand made food at the store, big fridge section of fresh stuff and packaged warm pancakes and things like that. They make these little burger things that kind of taste like meatloaf dredged in batter and fried again. Not sure what they call it but I am addicted package just says fried ground beef. I buy a week supply of food for about $80. I'd wager I eat more Asian food than most Asians. Switch it up and currently eating a lot of Korean stuff but primarily stick to Vietnamese, Thai and Korean with a little sushi here and there. I could eat sushi daily and never tire of it but it's expensive. I'm not a roll guy got to be sashimi so no way to do it cheap. I bought a big hunk of octopus at the market but not the same as the choice stuff that just got shipped in a couple hours ago.

H Mart baby, they're expanding in suburbia NY. They print their specials page in Korean and Chinese as you can see in the photo of the title in front of the store - that's Korean and Chinese. I see more not Asians in these and Asian supermarkets because their prices are generally better than your ShopRites.

If you ever go to Toronto or Vancouver, T&T; is pretty good.

I wish haven't been out of CO for years. All the market talk has me thinking I need to head down there and buy some makkoli for the holidays.

I see in the recipe a tinge to use some flavors not yet mentioned.

I grilled steak I started marinating yesterday. Teriyaki and aged worcestershire. The Teriyaki got the charcoal grill not shown. It is amazingly difficult to grill pinapple on a medium temp grill. I let them go a while, and toward the end raised the temp while moistenening them to help caramelize the outer part. Overly marinated meat come of my grill pretty quick so steaks were off by then.

No, and I never would. I saw it on the interwebs and immediately thought of my American TST buddies who will apparently eat just about anything...

Nay on the FF pizza thing. Very picky about pizza like foods. Still trying to cut calories but next week I am going for pizza. We have a place here that does 26" pies but it's more like 30". Box is so big have to put it in the trunk. They do something different. They bake it with just sauce, cheese, oregano and whatever proteins you choose. If you order a pizza with veggies they sauté those and top it after it comes out of the oven then they hit it with grated romano.
