Gochujang is one of the foundational ingredients in Korean cooking. A sweet and sticky paste made with red chilis (gochugaru), glutinous rice, and fermented soy beans, it's generally mixed with some combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar and garlic to produce deliciously savoury sauces, glazes and marinades.
We are picky about our choice of gochujang! CJ Haechandle's brand is South Korea's favourite commercially produced paste, with a brand recognition akin to Heinz's ketchup, and a balanced flavour that works really well in recipes. We love that they sell it in both mild and hot for different palates. Refrigerate after opening. 500g tub
I bought this to make the Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Sesame Slaw a few weeks ago and we've now made the recipe three times. The Gochujang adds a nice kick to this delicious, simple, 'flavourfull' dish.
