Best Gochujang Sauce
Makes about a cup.
This Best Gochujang Sauce recipe is made from Korean Gochujang paste—paired with coconut milk and lime, and makes a sweet sauce for veggies, grilled meats, rice, and more.
Ingredients
- ⅔ c full fat coconut milk
- 3-4 Tbsp Gochujang chili paste
- 1-2 Tbsp fish sauce
- 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 2-3 limes, juiced
- 2 limes, zested
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, chili paste, fish sauce, salt, and coconut sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer. Whisk semi-frequently until the sauce thickens and reduces almost by half—8-10 minutes.
- Add the coconut oil and whisk until combined. Finish by mixing in the lime juice and zest and tasting for salt. Serve hot over chicken, rice, or sautéed veggies.
