About Spicy bulgogi sauce

Spicy Bulgogi Sauce is a flavorful Korean condiment traditionally used to marinate or accompany grilled meats, particularly beef. It is made from ingredients such as soy sauce, garlic, ginger, gochujang (Korean chili paste), sesame oil, and sugar. This sauce provides a balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors that are integral to Korean cuisine. Nutritionally, it is relatively low in calories per serving but can contain significant sodium due to the soy sauce. It also provides small amounts of vitamins and minerals from garlic, ginger, and gochujang, such as vitamin C, manganese, and capsaicin.

Health Benefits

• Garlic in the sauce is rich in allicin, which may support heart health by promoting healthy blood pressure levels.
• Gochujang contains capsaicin, which can help boost metabolism and support weight management.
• The sesame oil provides healthy unsaturated fats and a small amount of vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant.
