- 1 leek
- 1 1/2 teaspoons gochujang
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon roasted sesame oil

Method
Step 1
Trim the root end and any tough dark greens off the leek. Slice it in half lengthwise and rinse well.
Step 2
Heat a dry pan over medium-high heat (or fire up the grill). Place the leek cut-side down and cook until deeply charred, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix gochujang, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil until smooth.
Step 4
Brush or drizzle the sauce over the charred leeks. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve warm.
