Gochujang (고추장) is a fundamental Korean red pepper paste, essential for adding depth and heat to many dishes. This paste from CJ Haechandeul has a rich, complex flavour that is savoury, slightly sweet, and distinctly spicy, derived from fermented soybeans, glutinous rice, and red chilli powder. Its thick consistency makes it perfect for use as a base in stews like kimchi jjigae, as a key component in marinades for Korean BBQ meats such as bulgogi, or mixed into bibimbap for a spicy kick. For a simple dipping sauce, combine it with sesame oil, garlic, and a touch of vinegar. This large 1kg tub is a staple for any home cook looking to explore authentic Korean cuisine and is ideal for batch cooking or frequent use. It's a cornerstone of the Korean pantry, providing the signature spicy and umami flavour profile loved worldwide.
