You’ll want seconds of this flavor-packed meal. Beyond being delicious, it’s also fast—ready in just 20 minutes—and super easy to prepare. Gochujang is a staple in Korean cooking and for good reason: Its sweet heat is fabulous on everything from chicken to vegetables. Heat levels can vary among brands, so check the packaging to see if it's labeled with any kind of spice-level indicator. And if not, purchase on and start with a small amount to test its heat level. This dish calls for carrots, but you can substitute broccoli, bell pepper, or cauliflower, if you like, or use a combination. Just make sure you cut them into small, evenly sized pieces so they cook quickly and evenly.
