Cheater's Gochujang
Report
Got gochujang? If not, then you need to drop everything and try this quick cheater's version from Da-Hae West that makes for an impressive stand-in for traditional homemade Korean chile paste. It's got a sweet heat as well as some serious umami. Here's how to make it.

- 1/4 cup light corn syrup (or substitute agave syrup or honey)

Instructions
- Stir together the miso, corn syrup, cayenne pepper, mirin, sugar, and garlic until well combined.
- Decant the gochujang mixture into a clean jar or resealable container, cover, and stash it in the refrigerator for up to several weeks. The gochujang is fine to use immediately but if you wait several days the flavor will be more melded and nuanced.
