Korean Dry Rub

This Korean dry rub is a vibrant blend of sweet, savory, and spicy notes, designed to bring the bold flavors of Korean cuisine to your home cooking. Imagine the rich, caramelized sweetness of brown sugar mingling with the umami depth of soy sauce and garlic, all balanced by a gentle heat from cayenne and chili flakes. The toasted sesame seeds add a nutty complexity, while ginger and white pepper provide a subtle warmth. A touch of citric acid brightens the overall flavor profile, ensuring a well-rounded and irresistible seasoning.
