Stir Fried Gochujang Sauce

Ingredients

• 200 g minced beef (or pork (7 ounces))
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 3/4 cup gochujang ((korean chili paste))
• 3 Tbsp water
• 1 to 3 tsp honey
• 1 Tbsp pine nuts (or your choice of nuts (optional))
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp rice wine
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp minced ginger
• A few sprinkles ground black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Combine the meat with the marinade sauce and set it aside for about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Pre heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the sesame oil and spread it thinly quickly. Add the meat and stir it well so the meat doesn’t clump.

3. 3

   Once the meat is mostly cooked, add the gochujang and water. Stir them well for 2 to 3 mins. Reduce the heat to low and simmer it a further 8 mins. Add the honey and pine nuts then stir. Simmer it a further 2 mins. Remove from the heat. Cool it down and store it in an air tight container until needed. It can be refrigerated for up to one month.
