Gochujang (고추장) glaze

Gochujang is a warming, subtle heat that accompanies a huge variety of things. I love this on pan-fried salmon for a midweek meal, or click through to the classic dakgangjeong, or Korean fried chicken recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 75 grams tomato ketchup

  • 15 grams gochujang

  • 30 grams dark brown sugar

  • 10 grams sesame oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, grated

Method:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and whisk to incorporate the gochujang.

  2. Warm through over a low heat until the first bubbles start to form.

  3. That's it -- that's the tweet.

  4. Use as a glaze for pan-seared salmon, korean fried chicken (dakgangjeong), wings, or as a dipping sauce.

  5. Store in a sealed container, refrigerate for up to two weeks.
