Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons of neutral oil

• Handful of Thai basil

Notes

• The taste of gochujang differs from brand to brand so the quantities may need to be adjusted to balance the flavours. Please taste at every step and season accordingly. If you have a very pungent jar you can also add some honey to sweeten it out
• I find this best served with sticky rice to get the best bite but any rice works
