Equipment

  • Big Bowl
  • Glass Jar (big enough to hold 2 1/2 cups)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Gochukaru
  • 1/2 cup smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup sea salt (finely ground)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup granulated garlic
  • 2 Tbsp mustard powder
  • 2 Tbsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp cayenne

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add all ingredients mix until well combined. Use a whisk to break up the brown sugar chunks, if necessary. The dry rub should be uniform in color.

  • Transfer and store in a sealed, air-tight container. I use an old jam jar. Store at room temperature, in your cupboard. It will keep for a long time, up to a year.

  • Use as a dry rub for chicken, fish, ribs, beef brisket, etc. Or sprinkle on top of french fries, burgers, roasted vegetables -- everything!

Notes

*If you'd like a spicier rub, add 1-2 Tbsp more mustard powder or cayenne.? Or both!
