Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 3 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or Monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the gochugaru and gochujang. Mix until they are well blended and form a consistent paste.
Add the soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and rice vinegar to the bowl. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Add the sesame oil, water, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir to combine, creating a smooth sauce.
Taste the sauce for heat and add more gochugaru if a spicier profile is desired.
Now stir in the stevia or monk fruit sweetener until dissolved, adjusting the sweetness to taste if necessary.
Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan. Heat over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients meld together and the sauce slightly thickens.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. Serve over cooked chicken or use as a marinade.
Store any unused sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
