In a medium mixing bowl, gather your ingredients: gochujang, minced garlic, toasted sesame oil, honey, sugar, rice vinegar, and optional salt. Combine them with a spatula or whisk until well integrated.

Continue stirring for about 30 seconds to achieve a uniform consistency without lumps; the sauce should feel thick and creamy.

Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness with more honey or sugar, or add more gochujang for extra heat.

Once satisfied with the flavor, drizzle it over rice, vegetables, or grilled protein, or store it in a glass container in the fridge.
