I was very impressed with the aroma and flavour of this powerful seasoning and tried it on beef and on fish, but I think it would work on vegetables from the grill or the pan too. The combination of the spice’s coconut sugar and smoked salt is a real winner. I think the versatility and quality of this simple but wonderful pot of magic is fabulous and I would score it a 10 out of 10. As a chef of 42 years now I would not hesitate to recommend.

The Korean Spice Blend offers a multi-dimensional taste experience, anchored by the fruity and smoky depth of gochugaru chilli:

Coconut sugar provides a delicate sweetness that caramelises beautifully during cooking, balancing the chilli’s warmth.
Smoked paprika and oak-smoked salt create subtle smoky undertones, enhancing the blend’s complexity.
Ginger and garlic add bright, aromatic warmth, while beetroot contributes an earthy sweetness that rounds out the seasoning.

How to use

For Meats

Pork Belly: Apply the Korean Spice Blend generously to pork belly, rubbing it evenly into the surface. For the best results, combine the seasoning with a little oil or yoghurt to create a wet marinade. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight for a deeper infusion of flavour.
Grilling/BBQ: Use indirect heat to slowly bring the meat to temperature. This allows the fat to combine with the seasoning, forming a paste that coats the meat while preventing the rub from burning on an open flame. Finish with direct heat to create a crispy, caramelised crust.
Beef or Fish:

Beef or Fish: Rub onto sirloin steak, ribeye, or salmon fillets for a Korean-inspired twist. Cook over medium-high heat for a beautifully charred finish that highlights the smoky, sweet flavours of the blend.

For Vegetables

Grilled Vegetables: Toss courgettes, aubergines, or mushrooms in olive oil and sprinkle with the Korean Spice Blend. Grill on the BBQ or sear in a hot pan until tender and lightly charred.
Roasted Vegetables: Add the blend to sweet potatoes, carrots, or parsnips before roasting at 200°C (400°F) to achieve caramelised, smoky-sweet flavours.
Vegetable Skewers: Skewer peppers, onions, and courgettes, season generously, and grill over medium heat for a bold and vibrant BBQ side.

On the Braai

Indirect Heat: Always bring the meat up to temperature slowly using indirect heat to avoid burning the rub. Let the juices and fats combine with the seasoning to form a paste that enhances the flavour.
Direct Heat Finish: Once the meat is cooked through, move it to direct heat briefly to caramelise the sugars in the blend and create a golden crust.

Pro Tip for Korean Spice Flavour

Pair seasoned meats or vegetables with traditional Korean sides such as kimchi, pickled radishes, or steamed rice for a complete meal. The sweet, smoky heat of the gochugaru chilli perfectly complements tangy, fresh accompaniments.
