Stokes Korean BBQ Sauce 2kg

Korean BBQ Sauce

Stokes Korean BBQ Sauce 2kg is one of those sauces that quickly becomes part of the weekly rotation. Rich, dark and glossy, it combines sweet brown sugar notes with savoury soy sauce, mellow mirin, pear, ginger and garlic to create a sauce with real depth and balance. There is sweetness at the start, a savoury richness running through it, and a subtle fruity finish that keeps the flavour feeling rounded rather than heavy.

It is the kind of sauce that works just as well for quick midweek meals as it does for weekend barbecues and sharing platters. Brush it over chicken wings before roasting and it caramelises beautifully around the edges. Stir it through noodles with spring onions and sesame, spoon it over crispy loaded fries, or use it to glaze salmon and grilled vegetables. Korean-inspired flavours continue to be one of the biggest food trends around, and this sauce makes it easy to bring those sweet, savoury and slightly sticky flavours into everyday cooking.

Why is pear traditionally used in Korean cooking?

Pear has long been used in Korean recipes because it adds a gentle sweetness and rounded flavour without becoming overpowering. It also helps create balance within sauces and marinades, particularly alongside savoury ingredients.

What flavours work well alongside Korean barbecue dishes?

Fresh and sharp ingredients often work particularly well with rich Korean-style flavours. Pickled vegetables, spring onions, citrus, sesame and crunchy slaws can help create contrast and texture within a dish.

Why are Korean-inspired recipes so popular at the moment?

Korean-inspired food has become popular because it layers several flavours together in a way that feels balanced. Sweet, savoury, spicy and tangy elements often appear in the same dish, making recipes feel full of flavour without needing lots of ingredients.
