Gochujang Korean Pepper paste

Gochujang Korean Pepper past.

Gochujang is a staple Korean fermented chili paste, characterized by its deep red color, thick texture, and complex flavor that balances spicy heat with sweet, savory (umami), and slightly funky notes, thanks to key ingredients like chili powder, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, and salt. It's a versatile condiment and seasoning, crucial for dishes like bibimbap and tteokbokki, used in marinades, soups, stews, and dipping sauces.
