Continuing to work my way through ChefSteps' new "Joule Ready" pre-made sous vide sauces. My third sauce was "Spicy Citrus BBQ", which is made with Korean gochujang. I used boneless, skinless chicken thigh, seared on one side and then sous vide at 149°F x 45 min, and served with grilled scallions, steamed sushi rice, quick vacuum-pickled carrots, and wrapped in butterhead lettuce.
This is my favorite sauce so far: quite spicy (probably too spicy if you don't like spicy food), with an excellent, complex depth of flavors. If I served it to you, I'm sure you would think it was made from scratch. I could easily see this working well with pork or beef too. The accompanying sides from the recommended recipe in the Joule app were obviously very simple, so I added a quick pickle to make the lettuce wraps a bit more interesting.
