Gochujang stir-fry sauce

This is my another meal prep sauce recipe.

Just mix all the ingredients in a jar.

Store it in the fridge.

When I make a stir fry, I usually only use 1/4 cup of this sauce for

400g (or 2 cups ) of veggies.

Ingredients for the sauce.

1/2 cup warm water

1/8 cup gochujang

1/8 cup tomato paste(to adjust the spice level)

2 tbsp raw cane sugar

2 tbsp light soy sauce

A pinch of black pepper

300g aubergine

1tsp salt and 1tsp olive oil(for the preparation of Aubergine)

100g Asian fried tofu (rinsed)

10ml roasted sesame

Chopped Chives

1/4 cup of the gochujang stir fry sauce

How to make this stir fried aubergine.

STEP 1

Massage and shake chopped aubergine ,1tsp salt and 1tsp olive oil in a ziplock bag. Set it aside for 10mins.

STEP 2
