Gochujang Gnocchi

Posted on September 13, 2023

Let’s Make Gochujang Gnocchi

This gochujang gnocchi is vegan friendly and perfect for a week night dinner. The sauce is really simple and cheap to make and can be made in just one pot. You can easily add more veggies to this recipe such as spinach, tenderstem or peppers, but the base will be a recipe you come back to again and again.

What Ingredients Do I Need?

Gnocchi– It’s hard to find vegan gnocchi sometimes, but Dell Ugo seems to be a good brand. This recipe uses fresh gnocchi to use less water, so if you use dried gnocchi, it might be worth cooking separately in a pot.

Gochujang- If you’re not familiar with gochujang it’s a Korean dried chilli paste. It’s packed with flavour and delicious when mixed with cream.

Vegan Cream- It’s good to have a single cream for this recipe. If you’re in America you call it half and half. Again, brands that work really well are Oatly and Elmlea.

Cooking Tips:

If you are using dried gnocchi, it might be a good idea to bring it to boil in a separate pot of water, just so the creamy sauce doesn’t go too starchy.

Add a splash of water to the tomato puree to loosen it and create a glossy sauce.

Keep an eye out for vegan friendly gnocchi, it can be hard to find in certain supermarkets.

If you’ve not used gochujang with gnocchi before, start with a heaped tbsp. If you like more heat, add a little more the next time.

Fresh herbs are essential! Lots of fresh basil in this recipe works a treat.
