Spicy BBQ Gochujang Aubergine is a smoky, sticky barbecue dish that transforms a humble aubergine into something deeply savoury and richly caramelised. This Spicy BBQ Gochujang Aubergine recipe layers hoisin, gochujang and rice wine over scored aubergine, then finishes it with an herby barbecue marinade for bold summer flavour.
Cooking aubergine over fire is all about treating it like meat. First sear it over direct heat to develop char, then allow it to cook through gently so the flesh becomes soft, silky and almost creamy inside.
