Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup/137g white miso paste

  • 1/4 cup/78g light corn syrup (or substitute agave syrup or honey)

  • 1/4 cup/21g cayenne pepper, or less to taste

  • 2 tbsp/30 ml mirin

  • 1 tbsp/13g superfine sugar (or just blitz some granulated sugar in a blender or food processor until finely ground but not powdery), or more to taste

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Method

01 Stir together the miso, corn syrup, cayenne pepper, mirin, sugar, and garlic until well combined.

02 Place the gochujang mixture into a clean jar or resealable container, cover, and stash it in the refrigerator for up to 5 weeks.

Notes

The gochujang is fine to use immediately but if you wait several days the flavor will be more melded.
