Introduction

Fire up your Arteflame Grill and get ready to make the most flavorful, juicy Grilled Korean Sausages with a sweet and spicy glaze. The intense 1,000F sear on the center grill grate locks in the juices, while the flat top cooktop brings them to perfection. No pots, no pans—just pure, sizzling goodness.

Ingredients

• 6 high-quality Korean-style sausages
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins in the grill and stack firewood on top.
3. Light the napkins and let the fire burn for about 20 minutes until the grill is hot.

Step 2: Prepare the glaze

1. In a small bowl, mix gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
2. Stir until fully combined.

Step 3: Sear the sausages

1. Place the sausages on the center grill grate at 1,000F.
2. Sear for about 30 seconds per side to lock in the juices.

Step 4: Cook to perfection

1. Move the sausages to the flat cooktop where it’s slightly cooler.
2. Cook, turning occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until the internal temperature is 15F below your desired doneness.
3. Brush the sausages with the sweet and spicy glaze in the last few minutes of cooking.

Step 5: Serve

1. Remove the sausages from the grill and let them rest.
2. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
3. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

• Use high-quality Korean-style sausages for the best flavor.
• Always let the sausages rest before serving to retain their juices.
• If you want extra caramelization, brush on an extra layer of glaze right before taking them off the grill.

Variations

1. Spicy Garlic: Add an extra teaspoon of minced garlic and a dash of chili flakes for an extra kick.
2. Teriyaki Twist: Replace honey with brown sugar and add 1 tsp mirin for a sweeter glaze.
3. Miso Glazed: Mix 1 tbsp white miso paste into the glaze for an umami-packed flavor.
4. Sweet & Smoky: Add 1 tsp smoked paprika and a dash of maple syrup for a rich, smoky-sweet taste.
5. Lemon Ginger: Add 1 tsp lemon zest and extra grated ginger for a bright, fresh flavor.

Best Pairings

• Grilled kimchi for an authentic Korean touch.
• Steamed jasmine rice with a drizzle of sesame oil.
• Fresh cucumber salad to balance out the heat.
