Make Grilled Meat Dipping Sauce
To make enough dipping sauce for 4 people, mix the following ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 3 tablespoons chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
- 1/3 - 1/2 tablespoon sugar, depending on your preference for sweetness
- 1 teaspoon margarine
Stir well and simmer this mixture over low heat. This dipping sauce has a rich and fragrant flavor, similar to Korean BBQ dipping sauce.
Once the sauce comes to a boil, remove it from the heat and pour it into a bowl. If you have toasted sesame seeds, sprinkle a little on top, and stir well before serving.
Alternative Method
Besides the Korean BBQ dipping sauce mentioned above, a simple and convenient option is to mix a chili-lemon-pepper seasoning to serve with grilled meat, which is also very tasty.
To make this, simply mix:
- 1 tablespoon seasoning powder (such as Hảo Hảo seasoning salt)
- Fresh chili
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tablespoon calamansi juice
Chili-lemon-pepper seasoning is also a great match for grilled meat
Stir well and optionally sprinkle some ground pepper.
