How to run it
Sauce it right.
- 01
Cook the protein most of the way naked. Sauce is a finish, not a marinade.
- 02
Brush or mop it on in the last 10 to 15 minutes.
- 03
Let it tack up over the heat. Watch the sugars, they scorch fast.
- 04
Hit it again at the table. That's the coat that counts.

Momofuku Sweet and Spicy Korean BBQ Sauce is a gochujang bbq sauce that runs gently spicy with a deep umami backbone. The heat is balanced out by the sweet, so it warms you up without running you off.
Momofuku leans on gochujang, the fermented Korean chili paste, then rounds it out with soy, garlic, sesame, and a shot of tart rice vinegar. The gochujang brings a slow, fermented heat and a whole lot of savory depth, the vinegar keeps it bright, and there are no fillers or gums thickening it up. It is a korean bbq sauce that tastes like it came out of a real kitchen.
Glaze wings and short ribs over the last stretch of the cook and let it caramelize on the fire. Run it as a stir fry base, brush it on grilled chicken and pork, or set it out as a dipping sauce for whatever hits the table.
