Spicy Gochujang Dipping Sauce

This sweet-and-savory gochujang dipping sauce is an easy way to add bold flavor to almost anything you’re serving. It starts with familiar ketchup, then layers in the gentle heat of gochujang, a touch of maple syrup for balance, and savory soy sauce. A hint of sesame oil and fresh garlic bring everything together for a smooth, irresistible dip that’s equal parts comforting and exciting.

Perfect for fries, nuggets, spring rolls, or anything that begs to be dunked, this sauce comes together in just minutes and can be made ahead for easy entertaining. Once you have it on hand, you’ll probably find yourself using it beyond dipping too - drizzled over burgers, spooned onto roasted vegetables, or brushed onto grilled meats for an extra pop of flavor.
