ChoJang 초장 (Sweet & Spicy Chili Pepper Sauce)

ChoJang 초장 (Sweet & Spicy Chili Pepper Sauce)

Ingredients:

5 tbsp Red Pepper Paste (Gochujang)

2 tbsp Green Plum Syrup (Maesil Chung)

1 tbsp Sugar

2 tbsp Rice Vinegar

1 1/2 tsp Garlic, minced

1 tsp Asian Sesame Oil

Instructions:

In a small dish, combine all the ingredients together, and mix until well-blended.

(If sauce consistency is too thick, thin out with a little warm water.)

Use immediately; or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Note:
This sauce goes well with all kinds of mixed rice dishes (bibimbap 비빔밥, hweh deopbap 회덮밥) or noodle dishes; and can also be used as a spicy salad dressing, vegetable dipping sauce, or jeon 전 (haemul pajeon 해물파전) dipping sauce.
This is also a great dipping sauce for hweh 회 (sashimi), as opposed to the standard soy-wasabi dipping sauce.
