Cooking tips 💡

• Adding butter when stir-frying the gochujang enhances the savory flavor and gives the yakgochujang a more refined taste.
• Adding pineapple juice mellows the spiciness and adds extra umami.
• The mixture will thicken as it cools, so it's best to turn off the heat while it's still slightly loose in the pan.
