I had leftover gojuchang from a batch of bulgogi and wondered if it could in a Korean-style guacamole. I've made Thai even Greek inspired guacamole in the past, and thought, why not? Turn out that the sweet, spicy, umami flavour of the gojuchang perfectly complements the avocado. In fact, it's practically the same as Mexican guac, except you're adding in some gojuchang. A great appy for any Korean-inspired meal!
