They key to this recipe is the Gochujang Glaze, which you can drizzle onto any vegetable, cooked in any way. Stir-fried? Drizzle the Gochujang Glaze in the last few seconds. Oven-roasted? Drizzle right onto the finished right on the pan and toss to coat. Grilled? Brush onto the vegetables and throw back onto the grill for the last minute or two to caramelize. So many options, so little reason not to make Gochujang Glaze!
