Japanese BBQ (Yakiniku)
焼肉 (Yakiniku)
The most delicious meat for eating Yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) is Beef short ribs, as their oil is evenly distributed and the meat is tender. Learn to make Yakiniku sauce. We can enjoy Yakiniku at home. The sauce can also be used to marinate pork belly, chicken thighs and prawns, etc.
Both prepared sauces and marinated meats can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. On busy days, just fry the meat and eat it. Super convenient!
