BBQ: Japanese Grilling Sauce

Source of Recipe

The Flavor of Japan


Recipe Introduction

The Japanese traditionally do not use pepper as a seasoning and soya sauce is used instead of salt. We tracked down this Japanese grilling sauce recipe from the Beni Hana restaurant. You can brush it onto food before grilling, and you can also serve it as a side sauce. You can adapt the quantities of each ingredient to suit your taste, but keep in mind that since sesame oil is very fragrant and strongly-flavored it should always be diluted with a neutral oil when the recipe calls for a fairly large amount.

List of Ingredients

250 ml (1 c.) pure vegetable oil
125 ml (1/2 c.) rice vinegar (plain)
125 ml (1/2 c.) water
8 tbsp. Kikkoman soya sauce
4 tbsp. sesame oil
1 green onion (the white and part of the green)
½ to 1 clove of garlic, to taste
¼ of a Spanish onion (optional)


Recipe

Mix all the ingredients in a blender to make a smoothly blended sauce.
