Gochujang Hot Pepper Paste

Description

Gochujang red pepper paste is a traditional Korean condiment used to bring rich spiciness to soups and jjigae stews, or add a bit of excitement to a bowl of plain rice. The deep red gochujang paste has kimchi-like taste and complex chilli flavours. It's perfect for enhancing traditional Korean dishes and stir fries, but gochujang is also exciting when used in unexpected recipes – such as bacon butties and chilli kale chips!

What is gochujang?

Gochujang literally means chilli bean paste. It's also known as hot bean paste, red chilli paste and Korean chilli paste. Gochujang is one of the cornerstones of Korean cuisine.  It's distinctive flavour doesn't really have a substitute, so we always keep plenty in stock.

How can I use gochujang?

Try mixing the gochujang with doenjang (fermented soybean paste), minced spring onions, garlic, ginger, rice wine and sesame oil to make ssamjang - the dipping sauce for Korean lettuce wraps. Also use gochujang in a marinade for bulgogi beef, and as a dressing for the Korean raw fish and vegetable dish, hweh bop bop. Read our guide to gochujang to learn more.
