Gochujang sauce, made from Korean gochujang paste and various savory ingredients, serves as a versatile sauce perfect for marinating, dipping, and drizzling over dishes like noodles and rice.
Grate a Korean pear and a sweet apple, and mix them with gochujang (Korean chili paste) in a small bowl. Add garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, lemon juice (or rice vinegar), sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, and corn syrup.
If you want a spicier sauce, add some gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) to taste. Mix everything together well, and your gochujang sauce is ready to use! This gochujang sauce makes about 1 cup.
To keep your gochujang sauce fresh, always store it in the refrigerator. It can last for up to four weeks. Avoid freezing it, as it is not recommended.
