Ingredients
- ½ cup Miso paste
- ½ cup Gochugaru (Korean chilli powder)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Skip this step if you have a fine chilli powder. Otherwise, add the chilli powder to a blender or spice grinder and blitz until fine (or at least finer).
- Place all the ingredients in a small food processor or use an immersion blender to blend everything into a smooth paste.
- If your paste is too thick to blend, add water, one teaspoon at a time. I typically add about two tablespoons of water. You want a thick paste similar to the texture of tomato paste.
Notes
- For a milder gochujang paste, start with a ¼ cup chilli powder and add more until you reach your preferred spice level.
- If you don't have gochugaru, see the best gochugaru substitute for gochujang (and more).
- See the section on ingredients for more detailed ingredient information and substitutes.
- Refrigerate leftover gochujang substitute in a clean airtight container.
