- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) or red pepper flakes

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and halve the new potatoes.

- In a large bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, gochujang paste, lime juice, vegan fish sauce, and chopped shallots.
- Once potatoes are crispy, let them cool slightly, then toss with the gochujang mayo mixture until well coated.
- Garnish with torn coriander, chopped chives, and toasted sesame seeds if using.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Adjust the gochujang quantity based on your preferred spice level.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- For extra crispiness, let the roasted potatoes cool slightly before adding the sauce.
