๐ Sugar-Free Option
Avoiding sucrose and honey entirely? Here's the stevia version of this dish:
- Gochujang, 2 tspโTraditional gochujang contains rice syrup โ look for a no-sugar-added version, or blend chili flakes + white miso + a drop of liquid stevia.
- Maple syrup, 1 tspโSwap for liquid stevia โ about 3โ4 drops per teaspoon of maple called for. If the batter or sauce needs the liquid volume, add the same amount of water or plant milk.
