Preparation

• Blend the base In a bowl, whisk doenjang and gochujang until smooth and fully combined. 🥣
• Add aromatics Stir in garlic and scallions, and onion if using, until the mixture looks glossy and cohesive. 🧄
• Balance the flavor Add honey or syrup and rice vinegar, then mix 15 sec so the sauce tastes rounded, not sharp. 🍯
• Finish with sesame Stir in sesame oil and sesame seeds, then add 15 ml (1 tbsp / 0.5 fl oz) water to loosen into a thick spreadable paste. ⚫
• Adjust texture Add up to 15 ml (1 tbsp / 0.5 fl oz) more water only if you want a more dip like consistency. 💧
• Rest briefly Rest 5 min so the aromatics soften and the sauce tastes deeper. ⏳
• Serve Serve with lettuce wraps, rice bowls, grilled mushrooms, or vegetables as a premium Korean dip. 🥬
• Store Refrigerate in a sealed jar up to 5 days, stir before serving. 🫙
