Kalbi gives meat a delicious sweet soy flavor and an amazing tenderness; the optional red pepper flakes add a little fire. In addition to the traditional ribs, this oh-so-addicting marinade is quite wonderful with flank steak, pork tenderloin, chicken, sea scallops, shrimp/vegetable kebabs and salmon. It also works wonderfully well to marinate some sushi-grade tuna in it and then serve chopped into a martini glass over a little shredded lettuce, sliced avocado and shrimp.

  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps

  1. 1
