  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and gochujang.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of gochujang to control the spice level.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like shredded carrots or spinach for extra nutrition and color.
