Korean Barbecue night

1/4 c low soy sauce
1 1/2 T rice wine vinegar
1 T sesame seeds
1 T fresh grated ginger (or 1 t dried ground)
1T dark brown sugar
1 T sesame oil
1 T honey
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 t crushed red pepper

marinate tofu or meat ( I used sliced cube steak) for up to 8 hours. I stir-fried with veggies and served over bean threads. And there was much rejoicing.

Tonka was excited about eating the "worms" with his own set of "pokes;" he gave the meal a thumbs-up with no hesitation.
His brother thought the bean threads were a little slippery, but loved the broccoli!super strange expression and crazy hair aside, I loved it. The H was perhaps more "yay." than rejoicing, but kept his comments to a minimum.

The dog, for those of you who are just itching to ask, couldn't figure out how to eat bean threads D tried to drop into her mouth. It was a little amusing, in a totally disgusting sort of way. Special thanks to Kristan for the bean threads, Sheena for the Sesame oil, Emily for the recipe, and D for buying fresh broccoli!
