Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Mushrooms shrink dramatically when moisture evaporates—so slice them thicker than usual to maintain a meaty bite.
  • The 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise is key: it smooths out the harsh saltiness and greasiness of the pastes, adding a rich, savory depth.
  • After adding the onion, avoid prolonged cooking—just mix the seasonings briefly to keep the texture crisp and lively.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to replace store-bought gochujang paste with a healthier, chewier, wellness-friendly version.
  • People seeking a hearty, long-lasting side dish that lasts a full week with just one cooking session.
  • Individuals who want a mild yet rich, non-irritating condiment that pairs perfectly with fresh lettuce or napa cabbage.
