Gochujang substitute - Sriracha

I use Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce as a substitute to gochujang (Korean hot chili paste).

It is a product of Thailand which I think you can find it in Malaysia too.

It has a certified HALAL logo from Thailand.

The taste is slightly different, of course.

But the heat taste is absolutely tolerable.

I bought this for £2.39 at a Korean food store.

You can use Sriracha instead of gochujang to make bibimbap (mixed rice and veggies).

Korean rice with lettuce wrap is absolutely scrumptious with Sriracha.

I always use Sriracha to make ddokbokki (hot sweet rice cake) too.

The above picture shows what I prepared for a dinner.

These are all side-dishes to sushi rice.
