Gochujang Miso Sauce
This gochujang miso sauce is spicy, sweet, and savory. It’s so good and perfect drizzled on bowls, salads, wraps, or as a dipping sauce!
This gochujang miso sauce is one of my current favorite all purpose sauces. I love prepping a batch on the weekend and drizzling it on all my meals throughout the week. It’s so easy to make with just 5 ingredients, but it’s packed with flavor and can make the blandest of dishes taste amazing!
Key Ingredients
- Miso ⟶ This is where the star savory, umami flavor comes from, so be sure to use a good tasty miso! I recommend red miso, but white, yellow, or awase (mixed) can work as well. White/yellow miso is more mild and sweet, while red is more salty and savory.
- Gochujang* ⟶ Adds just a little bit of heat along with some sweetness.
- Sugar ⟶ You can use any sweetener you like. Maple syrup would probably be delicious too.
- Vinegar ⟶ I prefer the mild flavor of rice vinegar, but feel free to play around with other vinegars.
- Toasted Sesame Seeds ⟶ You can buy pre-toasted sesame seeds or toast them yourself in a pan.
How to Use Gochujang Miso Sauce
This is a very versatile sauce and goes well on salads, bowls, wraps, or as a dipping sauce for veggies, fritters, or spring rolls. I love using this sauce on my cabbage pancakes, cabbage rolls, plain tofu, and with veggie sticks like cucumbers and carrots.
