Korean Barbecue

The tantalizing garlic aroma will draw you irresistibly to it and the taste will have you craving more. Serve with steamed brown rice and salad See INDEX: TOMATO CUCUMBER SALAD. Or purchase kimchee at a local oriental market. The more garlic the better, as garlic lovers know. Boneless chicken breasts are used to reduce fat. Boneless thigh meat is especially tasty for this recipe, but will be higher in fat. To reduce sodium use Bragg Liquid Aminos in place of low sodium tamarai sauce.

Ingredients

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves or 6 skinless boneless thighs
1/2 cup low sodium tamarai sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons of MYSTIC LAKE fruit concentrate or FLORIDA CRYSTALS
10 cloves garlic minced fine
1/4 cup fresh ginger minced fine
1 cup green onion wash chop fine
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil 100% expeller pressed - available at natural foods stores
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon SPIKE salt free

Technique

Wash chicken, pat dry. On work surface place 2 sheets of plain paper towel and cover with large sheet of wax paper. Using a mallet, pound the chicken breasts or thighs to 1/4 inch thick to break up muscle, to render them more tender. In 2 quart mixing bowl pour tamarai sauce, water and sweetener. In small food processor place garlic and ginger and mince fine, or mince by hand, then add to liquid mixture. Add chopped green onion, sesame oil, pepper flakes and SPIKE salt free. Stir thoroughly. Pour marinade into 9 x 13 inch size baking dish. Add pounded chicken meat. Marinate at least 2 hours turning pieces over every 30 minutes. Keep chicken covered and refrigerated. Brush or spray oil on grill then heat until hot. Place marinated chicken pieces on hot grill and cook approximately 5 minutes basting with marinade as chicken grills. Turn chicken over and cook another 4 minutes. Stop basting with marinade during last 2 minutes of grilling. Bring any of the remaining marinade to a boil in a small sauce pan and boil for 3 minutes before using on cooked chicken. Serve immediately.
