Gochugaru Sauce

February 13, 2025

Let’s keep it going with sauces. This recipe is from The Korean Vegan. Yeung Man Cooking over on Youtube also has a similar peanut sauce but it doesn’t have the gochugaru.

This is my standard spicy sauce for noodles/rice.

  • 1/4 cup rice syrup(or other syrup)
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp potato starch(or other starch)
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru(adjust for spice level)
  • Minced garlic to taste

Mix everything in a bowl. Whisk to incorporate. Heat over low heat until it thickens.

Some optional things to add might be peanut butter, minced ginseng, sesame oil, etc.

Wedding Tempeh

February 10, 2025

Last year Haley and I went to a great wedding that had the most amazing tempeh. The marinade was absolutely insane. They didn’t have a real recipe but this is the jist of it. Make this, marinade the tempeh.

Apple Cider Vinegar
Olive Oil
Salt
Nooch
Sumac
Mushroom Powder

Bake at ~375 for ~60 minutes, flipping and basting every 15 or so minutes.

Here’s Haley on the ground eating the tempeh. This proves how delicious it is.
