Spicy Korean BBQ with Ssäm and Ssämjang

To make the spicy Korean BBQ sauce, place all of the above ingredients into a small sauce pan and whisk to incorporate all of the ingredients together. Place over medium low heat, bring to a simmer and allow to cook, stirring often, for about 10-12 minutes until thickened and all of the sugar has dissolved

Allow to cool, then coat your meat or tofu of choice generously with the sauce and place on a hot grill or in a hot frying pan. Brush more sauce on often and allow it to caramelize, adding char and flavor

To make the ssämjang, whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl until smooth

To assemble, take a lettuce leaf, place a small scoop of rice in the centre, followed by a piece of your chosen protein and a good smear of ssämjang. Top with kimchi, green onion, chives, radish, sesame seeds or cress (if using)

Wrap up the filings by folding over the lettuce leaf to make a small parcel, and enjoy!

Serve with Kimchi Green onion, thinly sliced Chives, chopped Pickled radish, Sesame seeds, and Baby shiso cress.
