Go-Chu-Jang Pepper Sauce...BANG!

[Roguejim]

Ooooh...This is a gooder.  It's been in the fridge for about a week, but I don't think it was necessary to wait.  A sweet Asian-inspired umami bomb.  Slow rising low-medium heat.  Great on pork, beef, or rice.  Might be a tasty bbq finishing sauce for something nontraditional. 
 
Simmer.  Blend.  Strain.  Simmer, and add lime juice, to taste.  Amounts are close approximations.
 
THE PLAYERS:
 
1 C. Korean Go-Chu-Jang
1/4 C. rice wine
1/4 C. sesame oil
1/2 C. soy sauce
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/4 C. honey
1 bunch scallions
~2 heads garlic
12 large orange Thai peppers
5 TBLS lime juice
2-3 C. water
 

 

 

 

 

 
On left over beef kebabs.  BANG!

 
On plain white rice.

 
Eat this.

Looks great. Do you think it would be good if instead of the Go Chu Jang, AJ's pepper purée was used?

I know nothing about AJ's pepper puree.  Go-Chu-Jang is rather unique, I think.

That looks fantastic! One of my favorite marinades is essentially the same thing minus the hots. I need to try that. Nice job!
