How to make Korean style Vegan Sloppy Joes
  1. Bring two cups of water to a boil. Add the Hache, and stir to combine. Soak for 20 minutes.
  2. Rinse and drain, squeeze the Hache to remove as much water as possible.
  3. Rough chop the Hache, this does not need to be perfect. We’re looking to reduce the size of the Hache to small pieces.
  4. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat, add the extra virgin olive oil, saute the onions and garlic cook until a light caramelization has accrued.
  5. Add the diced peppers, continue to cook, and caramelize the vegetables.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, add a dash of extra virgin olive oil, add the spices, continue cooking, and stir for 1 minute.
  7. Cook the tomato paste and gochujang for one minute, stirring to combine.
  8. Add the tomato sauce, stir evenly combine all of the ingredients, and add the Hache.
  9. Stir to mix, cooking over low heat for 20 minutes. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan.
  10. The Korean sloppy Joe should be thick, with the liquids reduced, and rich in flavor.
  11. Serve on toasted Vegan Brioche Buns or your favorite hamburger bun.
