Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk until smooth and well mixed.
Add honey and brown sugar to the mixture. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a slightly thick and glossy base.
Incorporate the minced garlic, grated ginger, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
