Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine gochugaru, low-sodium soy sauce, and gochujang with water, stirring to create a smooth paste.
Step 2
Add honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook while stirring continuously to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.
Step 4
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
Add the sesame oil and stir well. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional minute to incorporate the sesame oil's aroma.
Step 6
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the low fat buldak sauce to a clean jar or container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Step 8
Use this spicy low fat buldak sauce to marinate your favorite proteins or as a dipping sauce to elevate your dishes with a fiery Korean kick.
