But I usually take a splash of rice vinegar, a little water, sesame seeds, sesame oil and a pinch of msg. Nothing precise, adjust to your tastes
This is what my mom did and she always felt that her favorite restaurants had better proportions that she couldn't get quite right. She's actually a very good cook who has always made her kimchee, panchan, soups, stews, etc. from scratch. But somehow, she couldn't nail her ideal gochujang mixing sauce.

Thanks, I'll just experiment until it comes close.
