Ingredients

2 tbsp gochujang paste
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
white sesame seeds for topping

Whisk well until combined.
Transfer the gochujang sauce to a bowl and top with toasted sesame seeds. Serve this sauce alongside bibimbap.

Notes

If your sauce is too spicy for your liking, you can dilute it with water, broth, or vinegar. Or you can neutralize the spice with the addition of a cream like yogurt, coconut milk, or sour cream. Naturally, this will affect the taste (probably in a good way... that coconut-milk addition sounds really good!). You can also add some sweetness to the sauce in the form of honey or maple syrup; this should take attention away from the spice.
