We love this Korean hot sauce. It’s easy to make and goes well on many different foods. I have added to veggies in a stir fry, used as a sauce on chicken wings and even drizzled over scrambled eggs. This sauce is super versatile and not too spicy. I have tried a couple variations of different recipes with gochujang, but we keep coming back to this one.
