Yeah! Toasted/Fried (like pan fried) nuts have a really buttery and rich flavor. I was thinking untoasted sesame oil, but the citrus and gochujang are both really intense flavors so it won’t overpower. Keep the onions and garlic in and grind/mince them with everything else going into the paste. Add the green onion in towards the end of the cooking process, but cut the garlic slightly larger than the nuts and throw them in from the start. If your pan isn’t too full, it should take only 2-4 minutes with fairly frequent stirring.
