TIPS & TRICKS

Gochujang Green Beans are also delicious at room temperature as a side salad and make a great addition to salads you pack to take to work. To turn them into a one-pan stir-fry meal, you can add sautéed chicken, ground beef, shrimp, cubed tofu, or strips of steak or pork and serve over rice or noodles.

Look for gochujang in the Asian aisle of your supermarket. It’s mildly spicy with a flavor that’s tangy, earthy, a bit sweet, and packed with umami.
