Instructions

Place the chopped green onions, garlic, and ginger in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add green onion mix and cook, stirring often, until softened, and a bit caramelized, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the gochujang, ketchup, lime juice, Polynesian sauce, sugar, umami sauce, Tamari, and water and stir until well combined.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring often to prevent scorching, until thick, 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove sauce from heat; season with salt if needed.

Notes

We like it super spicy so I add an extra 1/4 cup of gochujang.
Add extra water if sauce gets too thick.
