Gochujang (고추장) is a fundamental Korean red pepper paste, essential for adding a savoury, sweet, and spicy depth to many dishes. This paste from CJ Haechandeul is made from fermented soybeans, red chilli powder, glutinous rice, and salt, creating a thick texture and a complex, umami-rich flavour profile with a moderate, lingering heat. It is a versatile ingredient used as a base for stews like kimchi jjigae, a marinade for Korean BBQ meats such as bulgogi, or mixed into sauces for bibimbap. For a simple dipping sauce, combine a spoonful of gochujang with sesame oil, a little sugar, and vinegar. This paste is a cornerstone of the Korean pantry, ideal for anyone looking to recreate authentic Korean flavours at home. Contains WHEAT and SOY.
