Gochujang Korean Spicy Fries

Print Recipe

Gochujang Korean Spicy Fries are crispy golden fries tossed in a bold and tangy gochujang-based sauce, perfect as a flavorful snack, appetizer, or party side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) russet potatoes, cut into fries
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon water (to thin sauce, if needed)
  • Optional: chopped green onions, sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss cut potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fries are golden and crispy.
  4. While fries bake, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan over low heat. Add a bit of water if sauce is too thick. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  5. Once fries are baked, transfer them to a large bowl and toss with the warm gochujang sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust gochujang for milder or spicier flavor.
  • Use frozen fries for convenience—just bake according to package and toss with sauce.
  • Pairs well with a creamy dip like mayo or ranch to balance heat.
