Storage and reheating

  • Fridge: up to 3 days
  • Freezer: yes, up to 2 months
  • Warm gently in a covered skillet with a splash of water until steaming and at least 74°C / 165°F.

Ingredient substitutions

Salt

  • Soy sauce: Use only as a dip seasoning, not as a marinade, to keep the grilled pork simple.

Sesame oil

  • Vegetable oil: The dip will lose the toasted sesame aroma but still carries salt and pepper.

Garlic

  • Green onion: Use extra green onion on the grill for a sweeter aromatic bite.

Green onion

  • Garlic: Use a small amount because garlic is sharper and less sweet than grilled green onion.

Black pepper

  • Salt: Use less salt in the dip if pepper is unavailable.
