Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding just half a spoonful of soybean paste to the seasoning balances the sticky texture of gochujang and enhances the deep, savory umami flavor.
  • Avoid using corn syrup or honey, as they may cause the dish to become sticky or overly thick when cooled; use sugar instead for a clean texture and balanced sweetness.
  • If zucchini is unavailable, substitute with half a sliced onion cut into similar-sized pieces to maintain a sweet flavor and crisp texture.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a quick, no-fuss rice buddy that pairs perfectly with warm rice and needs no other side dishes.
  • Home cooks who want to make useful side dishes using leftover vegetables and canned spam from their fridge.
  • People seeking a spicy, addictive stir-fry alternative to serve with lettuce wraps or perilla leaf wraps.
