Chiles and strawberries come together for this sweet, savory Korean BBQ sauce. Baste it on chicken, pork, seafood, or anything that needs a kick of sweet heat.

  • Total Time: 30
  • Yield: About 2 cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 clove grated garlic
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup strawberry preserves
  • 1/2 cup gochujang
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Whisk so the sugars dissolve and don’t settle on the bottom.
  2. Reduce to a low simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, whisking periodically, until thickened. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon and will keep thickening as it cools.
  3. Store in an airtight jar once cooled. Keeps freshest for 10 to 14 days.

Notes

  • There is no substitute for the gochujang, so have it on hand before you start.
  • Strawberry jam works in place of preserves. The texture runs slightly looser.
  • Brush it on in the last 5 minutes of the cook so the sugars caramelize instead of burning.
