Spicy Korean Dipping Sauce

Looking for mellow Asian heat? Well, this sauce combines Gochujang, a Korean chili paste, with rice vinegar to temper the heat.

Cook Mode

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup gochujang paste
  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup minced garlic

Cooking:

  1. Combine all ingredients medium bowl; whisk until smooth. Pour into 12-inch nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat 18 to 20 minutes or until sauce is thick and syrupy, like the consistency of honey; stirring occasionally.
    2. Cook's Tip: This sauce may be prepared up to 4 days ahead of time. 

    This sauce will intensify in heat the longer it stands. For a spicier sauce, increase the amount of gochujang paste.
