Step 1
Warm a large saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and translucent—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Next, add the tomatoes, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, gochujang, soy sauce, molasses, garlic, and lime juice to the pan. Give everything a good stir and let it come to a gentle simmer. Once it’s simmering, take the pan off the heat and let the sauce cool for at least 15 minutes so the flavors can meld together.
Step 2
When the sauce has cooled, pour it into a blender and blend until it’s nice and smooth. For an extra silky texture, strain the sauce through a fine sieve. Finally, pour your finished sauce into clean Mason jars, and it’s ready to enjoy!
Serving Guide
This sauce pairs wonderfully with grilled meats like chicken, pork, or beef. It also works well as a dipping sauce for vegetables or drizzled over rice bowls. Try adding a spoonful to stir-fries for an extra boost of flavor.
Storage Suggestions
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir well before each use, as some ingredients may settle or separate over time. For longer storage, consider freezing in small portions.
