Gochujang (고추장), Korean red pepper paste, is a fundamental condiment in Korean cooking, made from fermented soybeans, red chilli powder, glutinous rice, and salt. This paste from Daesang O'Food has a rich, savoury flavour with a deep, lingering heat and a subtle sweetness that balances its complexity. It's an essential ingredient for classic dishes like bibimbap, tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), and various stews (jjigae), adding both colour and a distinctive spicy umami taste. For a simple weeknight meal, mix a spoonful into a marinade for chicken or pork before grilling, or stir it into a dipping sauce for fresh vegetables. Once opened, it should be refrigerated to maintain its freshness and potent flavour. This large 1kg tub is a staple for any home cook looking to explore authentic Korean cuisine. Contains WHEAT and SOY.
