Daesang O'Food Gochujang Red Pepper Paste Less Spicy 500g

Gochujang (고추장) is a fundamental Korean red pepper paste, essential for adding savoury, sweet, and spicy depth to many dishes. This less-spicy version from Daesang O'Food offers a milder heat, making it accessible for those new to Korean flavours or sensitive to intense spice. It has a thick, sticky texture and a complex taste derived from fermented soybeans, glutinous rice, and red chilli powder. Use it as a base for classic stews like kimchi jjigae, a marinade for Korean BBQ meats like bulgogi, or mixed with other condiments to create a dipping sauce for vegetables and fried chicken. For a simple weeknight meal, stir a spoonful into fried rice or noodle dishes to instantly add authentic Korean flavour. This paste is a versatile staple for anyone looking to explore Korean cooking at home. It is a foundational ingredient in the Korean pantry. Contains SOY. May contain wheat. Refrigerate after opening.
