If you’re cooking Korean food, gochujang paste is an ingredient that will come up. Unfortunately, it has a significant amount of sugar. I worked out my own sugar-free recipe of gojuchang so that so could I can have all the flavour without the carbs.
Keto Gochujang Paste Recipe
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup red miso paste
- ¼ cup Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru) (*If unavailable, sub with 2 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, around 15g.)
- 1½-3 tablespoons Lakanto granulated monk fruit sweetener (to taste)
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ⅓ cup water
Directions:
In a small saucepan on low heat, whisk together all ingredients, except the miso. Continue cooking, whisking occasionally, until everything is combined and the mixture thickens, around 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and whisk in the miso. Allow to cool then store in a glass jar or container in the fridge for up to one month.
