Instructions to make Homemade Gochujang for Bibimbap:
- [For the miso:] The ideal ratio should be 3 parts barley miso to 1 part koji miso. You can use your usual miso. Make sure that the miso does not have added dashi!
- [For the sugar:] You can use your usual sugar. I don't recommend any specific type. A small amount of muscovado or cane sugar will give a rich flavour.
- [For the mizuame:] If you use Korean mizuame, it is very runny, so omit the mirin in the ingredients and substitute that amount with sugar.
- [For the powdered chili:] Make sure that the powdered chili is Korean. If you use Japanese chili powder, it will be too hot and not suitable for gochujang.
- [For the Korean powdered chili:] Grinding chili in different ways produces varying degrees of spiciness and flavours. Coarsely powdered chili is ground with seeds, so it is very hot.
- By grinding only the flesh of the chili, fine chili powder is obtained. It has a beautiful orange colour and a mild flavour. Blend different kinds of chili powder…
- You will have a deep and complex flavour in the resultant gochujang. If you want to make this chili paste, this is a good occasion to buy different kinds of chili powder.
- [For the paprika powder:] This is optional, but it gives a vivid red colour and good flavour to gochujang. I recommend it.
- After you prepare all the ingredients, mix them together! Make sure that your bowl and spatula are very dry.
- Mix until very smooth. If you find the mixture too stiff and difficult to combine, place the bowl on a bain-marie. If you place the mixture over direct heat, you will lose the miso flavour.
- Just continue to mix. Adjust the consistency with sake or mirin. If it is too stiff, it may be difficult to handle when used. It shouldn't be too runny, either.
- Once the mixture is smooth, transfer into a clean bottle or any container with a lid. Keep in the fridge. The gochujang should become more translucent and vivid in colour after several days.

For example, if you are making a simple stir fry and would like more flavor, adding a teaspoon of gochujang would greatly improve the dish.
