Yes, the key ingridient of the entire bowl of bibimbap, as we know a sauce is often the most important one in a dish, is Gochujang which is fermented one.

[@wandercooks]

Agreed. We LOVE gochujang in everything, especially bibimbap.

Koreans usually don't use white or brown sugar. That's more of an American thing. It's usually rice syrup for sweetness with mirin for added sweetness and acidity not lemon juice. The combo of white and brown sugar was only adopted by Koreans in LA during the great migration of the 80s just appeal to American tastes however in Korea and especially where i lived, the sweetness is very low in comparison to the American version. I can't say I've ever seen anyone use lemon juice though. That's a new one. Citrus can definitely null a lot of the taste from sesame oil which is why they are often not used together in traditional cooking as they cancel each other out.

[@wandercooks]

Yeah you're right. We recommend using traditional plum syrup but it's quite hard to come by for a lot of our readers so we use brown sugar and lemon juice as our substitute for that. It is sweeter as well as a lot of readers aren't used to that full spice punch, so definitely pull back on the sweetness and adjust to suit your tastes. 😊

How long can you keep the sauce in the fridge for ?

[@wandercooks]

Up to 2-3 weeks. But as always - check before you use it if it has been in there for a while. ☺️

[@gaweekin524]

Original sauce for bibimbap was soy sauce until about 1960s

Fascinating how much things change over time.
