Amazing Korean salad bowl without the carbs, rock your favourite salad ingredients with spicy Gochujang paste – perfect for weekday lunch.
I’m pretty obsessed with Korean food, especially Gochujang paste. I love to use the paste to season meat or fried rice. Bibimbap (Korean rice bowl with gochujang) is on my weekday lunch menu almost every other week, usually with raw veggies. Some days it’s just No-Rice Bibimbap Bowl, which makes it an amazing spicy salad bowl.
Mine is usually packed with raw veggies, fried egg and sprinkles of nuts and seeds. Slicing the veggies in different shapes and sizes adds texture to the salad. Use any of your favourite salad ingredients. Top with spicy gochujang sauce. That’s how I rock my salad.

I just tried this recipe, and used Tabasco,chili flakes,Heinz ketchup, sesame oil and some vinager for the sauce. It turned out awesome!
Wow your spicy dressing sounds amazing! who would have thought tabasco & ketchup would work on a salad. what a great new creation 🙂
Oooohhhh!! I can not TELL you how excited I am to try your recipe! My husband did a remote tour in South Korea and I was lucky enough to visit him twice during that year. Immediately fell in love with the Korean cuisine and gochujang paste is one of my very favorite ingredients….right next to Deonjang. I’m 10 weeks into a low carb diet so the “no rice” bibimbap salad will be just perfect. I know the carb count isn’t exactly low in the gochujang paste, but its strong enough that I can use it sparingly. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! Ü
How lucky of you to visit South Korea, korean cuisine is something that is easy to fall in love with. it’s not difficult to make your own gochujang paste, and use your preferred sweetener. just google the recipe
I had no idea! Such a wealth of information! Thank you so much Ü
Love the sound of this, and I just bought Gochujang Paste for the first time and have been excited to try it!
Thank you Kalyn, hope you like Gochujang as much as I do!
Such a fantastic fresh take on an already fantastic dish. No rice. Who’d have thought of that? You! Brilliant, and no waiting. Love this, Shannon
I think adding kimchi to this salad in place of gochujang would be great too. oh so spicy Kimchi Salad. another awesome dish, too bad I don’t quite like kimchi, it’s too tart for my digestion
I would probably have two servings of this delicious looking salad. Love the look of the dressing — it’s making me so hungry. 🙂
Thanks Ray, and sorry for making you hungry 😛
