This thick, sticky barbecue sauce will make your meal memorable. The sauce takes its flavors from the Korean spice paste, gochujang, and a Korean dipping sauce called ssamjang. These ingredients make the final barbecue sauce a swirl of heat from chiles and garlic, pungent from fermented soybeans and sesame, and a little sweet from honey and sugar. Once you taste this dark sauce, concentrated in its gingery heat and spice, you won’t want to stop eating it. Sous vide chicken thighs in this barbecue sauce, top with grilled scallions, and serve it over rice.
