Drawing inspiration from gochujang, a fermented hot pepper paste that is a staple in Korean cooking, this sauce balances the heat of chili peppers with the umami of miso and soy sauce to create a condiment that pairs with everything from grilled meat to ramen. Subtle sweetness from apples, starch syrup, and molasses offer relief from the spice of the chili peppers, while onion extract adds a touch of vibrant acidity.
