In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the gochujang, ketchup, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
