Tips
Test Kitchen Tips:
- Gochujang or Korean pepper paste is made from chile powder, glutinous rice powder, fermented soybeans and salt. It is used to flavor stews, soups and marinades, and as a condiment at the table. It is available in Asian markets and online specialty stores.
- Three tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) can be used in place of the soy sauce and honey. It is a thick dark sauce typically used in Indonesian and Chinese cooking. It can be found in Asian groceries.
