Beef Jerky Gochujang (Spicy Chili Paste)
Beef Jerky Dish / Beef Jerky Gochujang
Beef jerky refers to thinly sliced and dried beef. While beef jerky is delicious on its own as a snack, it can be even more flavorful when incorporated into side dishes. The taste varies depending on the type of beef jerky used, so please take note! This recipe transforms jerky into a savory and unique gochujang paste.
Main Ingredients
- 50g Beef Jerky
- 130g Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely grind the beef jerky using a blender until it becomes a powder. If you tear the jerky into smaller pieces before blending, it will be easier to grind. This step adds a deep, savory umami flavor to the gochujang.
Step 2
Prepare your gochujang. Place 130g of gochujang into a wide bowl. Using fresh gochujang will result in a better taste.
Step 3
In the bowl with the gochujang, add 10ml of mirin (cooking wine), 25ml of plum extract, and 25g of honey. Mix these ingredients well. This is a crucial step for balancing the sweetness and savory notes, so feel free to adjust the quantities to your personal preference.
