KBBQ, also known as Korean barbecue, has made quite a splash in recent years because of the unique and enjoyable dining experience it offers foodies. Everyone sits around a hot wire grill as generous servings of top-grade meat are served alongside platefuls of <\/span>banchan <\/span><\/i>or side dishes. It\u2019s a great option for big groups \u2013 cooking together while sharing dishes, stories and drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to satisfy your Korean BBQ cravings but don\u2019t want to wait in line at restaurants, you can easily recreate the authentic KBBQ experience at home with your friends and family. From the grill to use to meats and sides to try, here\u2019s our guide to enjoying a full KBBQ meal!<\/span><\/p>\n

Make cooking easy with a portable grill.<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The hallmark of Korean BBQ is that it\u2019s a communal affair, so choosing a portable grill you can set up anywhere, from your dining table to your backyard, is ideal. The <\/span>Firebrand SHICHIRIN Japanese Grill<\/b><\/a> is a compact, heavy duty grill that can cook for a remarkable amount of people for its size. It\u2019s robustly made with a solid steel frame and can withstand high temperature grilling. The 2 air vents come with closable levers to control air intake into the firebowl and the weaved design ensures high performance cooking with minimal food contact during grilling. Buy it <\/span>here<\/span><\/a> (on sale for a limited time!) for $199.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider your heat source.<\/b><\/h2>\n

The secret to an authentic KBBQ experience is using charcoal on your grill. It\u2019s the traditional way to get that mouthwatering, smoky flavour! Plus, you need that high heat for quick searing and hot and fast grilling style which is a hallmark of the cuisine. And you just can\u2019t get those sorts of high temps with gas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose high quality fuel like the <\/span>Firebrand Professional Hardwood Lump Charcoal<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Professional Briquette BBQ Charcoal<\/span><\/a> for a cleaner, longer burn and consistent high heat. Remember to grill in a well ventilated space, like your patio or backyard. Even though some restaurants do the indoor grilling experience, please don\u2019t try this at home!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ready your tools.<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tongs and scissors are two essential utensils for an authentic Korean BBQ experience. Tongs make it easy to flip the meat, while scissors are used to quickly cut larger pieces of meat into smaller, bite sized pieces as they are grilling. No need for a cutting board!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out the AVANTI Stainless Steel Tweezer and Tongs Set ($24.95) <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. These are perfect for use with the Firebrand SHICHIRIN Japanese grill and are designed to be lighter and more streamlined so you can better handle the delicate meat cuts used in Korean grilling. For heavy-duty shears, try the Napoleon PRO Poultry Shears ($34.95) <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
