FAQs
1. Can I use regular soy sauce instead of gluten-free?
Yes, but it will no longer be gluten-free. If you’re not avoiding gluten, regular soy sauce will work just fine.
2. What if I can’t find gochujang?
While gochujang gives the dish its signature flavor, you can substitute with chili paste or sriracha, although the taste will differ.
3. Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can cook the beef mixture in advance and store it in the fridge. Just reheat it and serve with freshly cooked rice when ready to eat.
