Crafted from a century-old Hokkaido recipe, this Traditional Miso Genghis Khan Sauce blends soy, miso, and grated aromatics, perfect for enhancing lamb, pork, chicken, and vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 100ml soy sauce
  • 20g sugar (brown or raw sugar recommended for depth)
  • 20g mirin (can substitute with rice seasoning)
  • 50g grated daikon
  • 50g grated apple
  • 50g grated onion
  • 1 clove grated garlic
  • 1 tbsp garlic chives or garlic sprouts, chopped
    (Traditionally, alpine leek “gyoja ninniku” is used)
  • A small amount of oyster sauce
  • A small amount of sesame oil
  • A small amount of chili pepper (adjust to desired heat level)
  • 10g miso (preferably red miso)

Method

  1. Prepare the Base:

    • Combine soy sauce, sugar, and mirin in a mixing bowl. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Grate Aromatics:

    • Grate the daikon, apple, onion, and garlic, or blend until smooth. Mix into the liquid base.
  3. Blend the Sauce:

    • Add garlic chives, oyster sauce, sesame oil, chilli pepper, and miso. Stir until well blended.
  4. Adjust and Rest:

    • Taste and adjust seasoning for sweetness, saltiness, and flavour balance. Let the sauce rest in the refrigerator for at least 6–12 hours to allow the flavours to mature.
