Gochujang Salmon Skewers
A good way to spice up your salmon.
Notes:
'Gochujang' is a Korean fermented chili paste. Savory, sweet and spicy it's made from gochu-garu, glutinous rice, meju powder, yeotgireum, and salt. The sweetness comes from the starch of cooked glutinous rice, cultured with saccharifying enzymes during the fermentation process.
That's enough science - on to the recipe!
