Gochujang is a real cornerstone of Korean cuisine and is gaining huge popularity in the west. Recipes from manufacturers vary widely and after some research and checking reviews, we’re going with O’Food. With a short ingredient list and many positive words from customers on its side, we’re confident that it is one of the better brands out there. Gochujang is made with brown rice, fermented soy beans and red pepper powder and it is a real powerhouse of savoury flavours. Not only is it a treat for the tastebuds, the deep red colour is really captivating and inviting.
Gochujang is strong in umami flavours with a slight sweetness. It does have a moderately spicy note as well, so be sure to take that in to consideration! Common uses for Gochujang include making the dish Bibimbap, with Korean BBQ recipes or as a dipping sauce. If you love bulgogi, then it is essential! Add to rice and noodle dishes as an ingredient to add flavour or use it as a marinade for meats and vegetables. This is a great food to experiment with, whether you’re making a custom pizza sauce or jazzing up a pasta dish. Go create!
Other great things we have with Korean influence include Korean Bulgogi sauce, Spicy Korean BBQ sauce and we also have Gochugaru flakes, too!
