A creamy, spicy gochujang chickpea salad sandwich with spicy-sweet gochujang caramelized onions is a Korean-style twist on this lunchtime favorite! It’s hearty, satisfying, and packed with FLAVOR! Options for gluten-free , Nutfree , Soyfree

I love cooking with gochujang, like in my gochujang bowl, peanut gochujang rice, gochujang cauliflower wings, gochujang lentils, and gochujang tofu sandwich. This gochujang chickpea salad is my most recent gochujang recipe.

I’ve got a bunch of chickpea salad sandwiches on the blog, because there isn’t just one way to make a chickpea salad sandwich. You can add a lot of different spices, herbs, flavors, sauces, and crunchy additions to make super quick lunches that are unique every single time! In this salad, we have creamy dressing with spicy gochujang, paired with caramelized onions that have been cooked with gochujang! Making them sweeter and spiced and gorgeous. You can use these onions in so many ways, on burgers, wraps, bowls and more.

For this chickpea salad sandwich, we add gochujang into the creamy dressing for the chickpea salad. We also caramelize the onions. Once the onions are halfway cooked, we add some gochujang to them, as well, so you get these sweet-and-spicy, delicious onions to top the chickpea salad sandwich. Serve it in a bread or pita sandwich or in a wrap or lettuce wrap or as a dip with tortilla chips or pita chips!

A sheet pan gochujang bowl is an easy, flavor-packed way to use up leftover veggies. Tofu, Veggies, chickpeas are tossed in a delicious Gochujang marinade and baked! Serve your gochujang bowls over rice, lettuce, or noodles. It’s such a versatile meal!

If you’re new to gochujang, it’s a spicy, fermented Korean chili paste with a little bit of a sweet flavor. It’s amazing in sauces, like the sauce and dressing for this gochujang rice bowl!

We’re going to up the flavor ante in this recipe by combining gochujang paste with gochugaru flakes. Gochugaru is the chili used to make gochujang paste, so it really doubles down on that incredible flavor!

This sheet pan meal has lots of veggies, and everything baked on one baking dish! You make this delicious marinade with both gochujang paste and gochugaru flakes for a deep, gochujang flavor for the veggies and protein. And While everything bakes up together, you make a tangy, refreshing dressing with vinegar and gochugaru flakes along with a little bit of maple for the sweet. Double the flavor! The dressing livens the bowl up even more as it pairs amazingly with the roasted veggies as well as crunchy lettuce or rice or any other accompaniments.

After baking, you simply dress the veggies and protein and serve. You can serve the gochujang bowls as-is with the roasted veggies and protein or serve it over rice or as a salad with some fresh spring greens or lettuce. Or add the mixture to wraps! You can also serve this as an entree with cooked greens on the side.

The dressing is just fabulous. If you want to add to the freshness, feel free to add sliced, fresh onion, cucumber, or carrots to pickle them a little bit and then use that extra crunch on your gochujang bowls. How gorgeous is that pan dinner!

My formula to make banging Sheet pan dinners!

• Get your veggies, chop into similar size pieces
• get the proteins. Use a mix such as cubed tofu and beans or chickpeas. Or tempeh or seitan and beans or nuts
• decide on a flavor profile. Spicy savory. For eg Cajun, Berbere, chipotle pepper, gochugaru pepper, Indian garam masala, Jamaican jerk etc.
• toss and bake.
• pair with simply zingy lemony dressing or creamy dressing or sweet and tangy dressing.
• serve as bowl or with bread or with rice or crunchy greens/lettuce
  

Why You’ll Love Gochujang Rice Bowls

• one-pan meal that’s packed with flavor!
• so versatile. Use whatever veggies you have on hand, and serve over lettuce, rice, noodles, in wraps, etc.
• double gochujang flavor from both gochujang paste and gochugaru flakes
• optional quick pickled veggies go on top to add freshness and crunch!
• nut-free with gluten-free and soy-free options
