My family has been going to this 훈재오리 smoked duck restaurant in seoul called 옛골토성 for years. It's freaking amazing and my favorite place for duck. The duck itself is super good but the banchans and sauce are part of what makes it so good too but i can't figure out the dipping sauce. During my most recent trip out i decided to try and suss out the recipe but the employees were unsurprisingly close lipped about it lol. posting here in case anyone knows what goes in this sauce!
Sorry for the bad pics. It's like a loose syrup consistency, sweet tart and has a slight heat. Not gochugaru as there were no visible gochugaru flakes, and the heat was more jalapeno like plus there were pickled jalapeno banchan so i figure it's that.
From tasting it my best guesses are:
Honey
Jalapenos (grated?)
Soy sauce
Maesil?
Plum sauce?
Dates and or ginger? Kinda ssanghwacha taste
Any suggestions please let me know!

maybe its like the usual 곱창/차돌 pickled sauce (soysauce, mirin, sugar, vinegar, jalapeno) mixed with the peking duck sauce?
