Yangnyeom Sesame Rub (South Korea)

Description

Dry-roasted sesame seeds, gochugaru (Korean chilli flakes), sugar, garlic powder, and dried spring onion. Mix with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar to bring it back to the dipping sauce this is based on — classically served with mandu dumplings — or use dry as a rub on grilled meats. Featured in Episode 24, opening the East Asia sub-arc. Dry blend, shelf-stable — adapted from a soy-based sauce; this version is the dry seasoning base only, missing the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar that make up most of the original. Contains sesame.
