Ttukdak Hyung's Korean BBQ Onion Pickle

A super simple recipe to easily recreate the sweet, tangy, and sharp onion pickle sauce from Korean BBQ restaurants at home.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If the onion is too pungent, soak the sliced onion in cold water for 5–10 minutes, then drain well before using for a much milder and crisper texture.
  • Prepared mustard tends to clump, so when mixing the sauce, first blend it with a small amount of water or soy sauce before combining everything to ensure it dissolves evenly.
  • If making it from scratch feels like a hassle, you can conveniently use a store-bought cham sauce as a substitute.

Recommended for

  • Those who need a clean and tangy sauce to accompany grilled meat at home.
  • Those who want to perfectly recreate Korean BBQ restaurant flavors using pantry seasonings without store-bought sauce.
