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.

  • 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.
