This recipe is a great way to use leftover rice. Feel free to use other grains, such as quinoa or millet. The spiciness of gochujang varies across different brands. I recommend adding a 1/2 tablespoon to the rice first and tasting it. If you want more spice, add another 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of gochujang. You can also add 1 or 2 tablespoons of kimchi juice to flavor the rice.
