Ingredients

  • Finely chopped half a white onion
  • Chopped three pounds of colorful heirloom tomatoes
  • Added a half cup of apple cider vinegar for a tangy kick
  • Sprinkled a quarter cup of light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • Blended in three tablespoons of umami-rich Worcestershire sauce
  • Incorporated three tablespoons of spicy gochujang, the Korean hot pepper paste
  • Mixed in two tablespoons of soy sauce for depth of flavor
  • Drizzled a tablespoon of rich molasses for sweetness
  • Crushed four aromatic cloves of garlic
  • Squeezed in one and a half teaspoons of zesty lime juice

Step 1

Begin by gently heating a generously sized saucepan on medium heat. As the pan warms up, toss in the onion and sauté it until it turns soft and translucent, which should take around 5 minutes. Next, introduce a medley of flavors to the pan - the juicy tomatoes, tangy vinegar, rich brown sugar, savory Worcestershire sauce, spicy gochujang, umami-packed soy sauce, sweet molasses, pungent garlic, and zesty lime juice. Let this vibrant concoction come to a gentle simmer, then remove it from the heat, allowing the flavors to meld and cool for a minimum of 15 minutes.

Step 2

Now, it's time to blend this aromatic sauce to silky perfection. Carefully transfer it to a blender and blitz until velvety smooth. For a flawless finish, strain the sauce through a fine sieve, ensuring a velvety texture, before pouring it into clean, sterilized Mason jars.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep it Cool : Store your gochujang BBQ sauce in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and preserve its flavor.
  2. 2. Label with Love : Use cute labels or colorful stickers to mark your container of gochujang BBQ sauce with the date it was made. This will help you keep track of its shelf life.
