How to Make Kochujang Sauce
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), honey or brown sugar, garlic, and ginger until smooth and well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more honey/brown sugar for sweetness, gochugaru for heat, or soy sauce for saltiness.
- Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The flavor will deepen over time.
- For Bibimbap, use approximately 2-3 tablespoons per serving.
- Double or quadruple the recipe to make larger batches for future use. This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for several weeks.
