Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 tablespoons gochujang paste
- 1½ tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and maple syrup. Start with less gochujang if you want it mild, add more for extra spice.
- Taste and adjust—add more syrup for sweetness, more vinegar for tang, or more gochujang for heat.

Notes
Try adding minced garlic or ginger for extra flavor. Swap maple syrup with honey or agave. Thin with water to make a dressing.
