    Alright, I at least trippled the gochujang, used about 1.5 times the oyster sauce, and also added extra corn starch in the end. I used almost a full cup of pasta water, a bit at a time, while the spaghetti was cooking and the sauce was simmering. In the end it was quite saucy.

    I didn’t measure the gochujang at all. I used an absolutely heaping dinner spoon, and when it still wasn’t red enough, I added another half spoon later. I estimate it was 3-4 measuring tablespoons. You should definitely up the amount in your printed recipe. 1 tbsp definitely isn’t enough. It still wasn’t really spicy at all, and I didn’t add any additional spice this time.

    I should have added some fish sauce, too. I just ate this bowl without any fish sauce, and I really think it needs it. (I added the mountain of furikake after this photo was taken. I do love the stuff. 😅)

    Before I eat the leftovers, I am going to make some prik nam pla to add a real kick and some brightness. That will also add the fish sauce I think it needs.

    Thanks again the for the recipe!
