hahaha
I'm gonna mix it with some peanut butter and lime juice and marinate some shit and see how it do
Actually maybe instead of mixing it with peanut butter I'll roast my own peanuts (or other nuts) and process them together so i can control how sweet it is
Really encourage you to finely dice and fry the nuts with green onion and garlic in coconut or sesame oil. Another neutral oil like vegetable, soya, or grapeseed are fine too, but the flavors of the other two are excellent. Olive might burn or impart unwanted flavor. GL on your culinary love triangle! Can also cook the gochujang in the fry mixture. Walnuts or peanuts would be my pick, but I have a special love for walnuts.
Good gravy, sesame oil is so strongly flavored idk if i'd ever cook with it
Are you talking about cooking these nuts w/ green onions before using them to make a paste for a rub
Yeah! Toasted/Fried (like pan fried) nuts have a really buttery and rich flavor. I was thinking untoasted sesame oil, but the citrus and gochujang are both really intense flavors so it won't overpower. Keep the onions and garlic in and grind/mince them with everything else going into the paste. Add the green onion in towards the end of the cooking process, but cut the garlic slightly larger than the nuts and throw them in from the start. If your pan isn't too full, it should take only 2-4 minutes with fairly frequent stirring.
