I came across this wonderful Korean paste called Gochujang which translates to “Hot Pepper Paste” in my local Asian food store, I bought it and couldn’t find anything to make with it so I searched for some recipes and I came up with this one. As I have a slight obsession with seafood I added prawns and squid, but it’s not only good with seafood it adds a depth of flavour to any meat stir-fry. Have a search for it you won’t be disappointed, the taste is hot and spicy but with an amazing smoky flavour as well, and the best part is it takes very little effort to create a delicious meal in less than 20 minutes, and I just love fast cooking!
