This sauce is used in a few Korean dishes; most notably in Bi Bim Bap, but can also be used as a dip for vegetables, a flavouring for soups and stir-fry and as a marinade for grilled or barbecued tofu. I am new to Korean food, but we have a young Korean girl staying with us for 5 months, so I have been trying Korean recipes. She gave my Bi Bim Bap and 8 out of 10! A Korean friend of mine also tried my Kochujang Sauce and told me that my recipe was better than hers. I found this recipe on under the Korean sauces heading. Kochujang is a thick, miso-like paste made of soybean paste, red pepper powder and glutinous rice flour. Some brands are hotter than others. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons korean red chili paste (kochujang) |
2 small garlic cloves, finely minced |
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1 teaspoon sesame oil |
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted |
2 scallions, finely shredded on diagonal |
2 teaspoons sugar (or other sweetener) |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together well.
2. Keeps a long time in the refrigerator.
3. This recipe also multiplies well.
4. If making Kochujang Sauce for Bi Bim Bap; double this recipe for 4 servings.
5. I usually quadruple the recipe so I always have some on hand in the fridge.
