Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine gochugaru, low-sodium soy sauce, and gochujang with water, stirring to create a smooth paste.
Add honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook while stirring continuously to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the sesame oil and stir well. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional minute to incorporate the sesame oil's aroma.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Transfer the low fat buldak sauce to a clean jar or container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Use this spicy low fat buldak sauce to marinate your favorite proteins or as a dipping sauce to elevate your dishes with a fiery Korean kick.
