Recipe

Cooking tips

  • To ensure proper completion, strictly follow the ingredient order: salt → strawberry jam → fermented soybean powder → ground red pepper flakes → rice syrup.
  • Stir thoroughly at the beginning to fully dissolve salt crystals—otherwise, grittiness may occur later.
  • Adding rice syrup last makes it easier to control consistency and achieve a rich, appetizing sheen.
  • Soju helps blend ingredients smoothly and balances the sweetness of the strawberry jam.

Recommended for

  • Those who find traditional gochujang preparation too complicated or its long fermentation process burdensome.
  • People seeking a homemade seasoning with low sodium but natural, deep sweetness.
