CJ Haechandeul Gochujang Red Pepper Paste 500g

Gochujang (고추장) is a fundamental Korean red pepper paste, essential for adding savoury depth and a mild, lingering heat to many dishes. Made by CJ Haechandeul, this paste is crafted from fermented soybeans, glutinous rice, and red chilli powder, resulting in a thick texture and a complex flavour that is simultaneously spicy, sweet, and deeply savoury. It's an indispensable ingredient for classic Korean recipes like bibimbap, tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), and various stews (jjigae). For a simple weeknight meal, mix a spoonful into a marinade for chicken or pork, or blend it with other condiments to create a custom dipping sauce for grilled meats and vegetables. This versatile paste is a cornerstone of the Korean pantry, providing an authentic taste for both traditional cooking and modern fusion dishes. Contains WHEAT and SOY. Refrigerate after opening.
