KOREAN-STYLE BARBECUE SALMON

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Whisk the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, sugar, ginger and garlic in a small bowl.
• Prepare the salmon: Remove 3 tablespoons of the sauce to a large bowl and add the salmon; rub all over to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Set aside the remaining sauce for basting.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Oil the grates. Brush the cabbage wedges all over with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Remove the salmon from the marinade; pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and brush both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
• Grill the salmon, skin-side up, until well marked, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and brush with the reserved sauce. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the cabbage wedges, flipping often, until crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer the salmon and cabbage to plates; sprinkle with scallions and drizzle with sesame oil. Serve with rice.

GRILLED VEGETABLES KOREAN-STYLE

Steps:

• 1. Slice the eggplant and zucchini into quarter inch slices.
• 2. Coat the vegetables in oil and grill in a grill pan or gas grill until veggies are tender, but still hold their shape.
• 3. Add the remaining ingredients and gently toss.

KOREAN GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together the soy, vinegar, honey, chili paste, ginger and garlic in a bowl and divide the mixture in half. Add 1 half to a large baking dish, then add the chicken, turning to coat. Cover and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours. Add the green onions, sesame oil, black pepper and sesame seeds to the remaining half of the mixture. Reserve it as a dipping sauce for the finished chicken.
• Light a grill, making sure to include a zone of indirect heat.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and put it over the charcoal, skin side down. Grill until the skin is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Relocate the chicken to the indirect heat zone, lower the cover and grill until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill to a cutting board and carve. Arrange the chicken on a serving platter and serve wrapped in tortillas, if desired, with dipping sauce on the side.

GRILLED KOREAN-STYLE BBQ GLAZED PORK CHOPS WITH RED ONIONS AND BABY BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Stir together the soy sauce, chili sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, vinegar, grated ginger and grated garlic in a small bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons for the vegetables and then stir in the hoisin sauce. Set half aside for serving with the cooked pork chops and stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
• Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper for all 4 chops. Place the pork chops and onions on a lightly oiled grill. Grill until the pork chops are just slightly pink near the bone, 6 minutes on the first side and 4 to 5 minutes on the second side. Grill the onions until they are soft. Start brushing both the pork and the onions with the hoisin sauce mixture about halfway through grilling. Transfer the pork chops to a cutting board to rest for about 5 minutes and the onions to a bowl.
• Put the bok choy in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until the center core has softened and can easily be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 3 to 5 minutes. Season the bok choy with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and grill until charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add to the bowl with the onions and gently toss with the reserved 2 tablespoons ginger sauce. Serve the pork chops with the grilled vegetables and the reserved hoisin sauce mixture on the side.
