About This Recipe
Gochujang sauce is a fundamental ingredient in Korean cooking – a thick and spicy-sweet crimson sauce made from chilli flakes, sticky rice, fermented soybeans and salt. It has a bold sweet, spicy, umami flavour and can be used as a dipping sauce, drizzled over veggies/rice or used in bibimbap as Jade has here.
You can store-buy it, but you might not use it that much and so Jade has come up with a DIY version that’s inspired by the website My Korean Kitchen.
There are some health benefits to this quick sauce. It is low in cholesterol and includes capsaicin, an active component in the chillies, which can help increase metabolism.
