According to Wikipedia, “Gochujang or red chili paste is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented condiment made from gochutgaru (red chili powder), glutinous rice, mejutgaru (fermented soybean powder), yeotgireum (barley malt powder), and salt. The sweetness comes from the starch of cooked glutinous rice, cultured with saccharifying enzymes during the fermentation process.” It is an amazing flavor combination that give this sauce a sweet/spicy/savory taste that works well in a stir fry.

- 1 to 1.5 pounds large or extra large shrimp – de-veined, shells removed. (You can also use any other protein – pork, chicken, beef, and tofu work well).
- 1 bottle Serious Foodie Lemon/Garlic Korean Grill Sauce and Marinade
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or safflower works best)

- 1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked Soba noodles or brown rice
- After cleaning the shrimp, place in a bowl and add about 1/4 of the Korean Grill Sauce and Marinade, and toss the shrimp to completely coat. Cover, then place back in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (best if overnight).
- Place the oil in a wok or large frying pan, and put on high heat. Stir fry all the vegetables. Remove temporarily. Salt and pepper to taste.
