Notes

Gochujang - Gochujang is a fermented Korean chilli pepper paste, which is widely used in Korean cooking. 
Any substitute for Gochujang? There is no exact same substitute for Gochujang chilli paste. But Thai Sriracha chilli sauce is an alternative you can try.
Quick Fix Gochujang Recipe you can try out: For 1 tablespoon of Gochujang paste substitution, mix 1 tablespoon of paprika/cayenne powder,  ½ teaspoon of light soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sugar syrup or honey. Mix well and make it into a paste. The taste won’t be exactly same as a unique fermented taste like Gochujang. This quick chilli paste can bring a spicy, sweet, and smoky chilli flavour to your dish.
