Gochujang Hot Red Pepper Paste 500 g | Authentic sweet and spicy fermented Korean red pepper paste. Perfect seasoning for bibimbap tteokbokki and BBQ marinades

I bought this so I could cook some authentic tteokbokki and other Korean dishes, as I was watching Bon Appetite, Your Majesty and Business Proposal and the food looked really tasty. There isn't a Korean restaurant around here and I love to cook, so I have little choice but to make it myself. It's a very warm kind of heat, it's quite spicy, I use one heaped teaspoon in the recipe I found (500g of ricecakes), and I like mild to medium heat so it was at my limit, but then it dies away and leaves a tingling heat behind, that compliments the other flavours bringing them out. My first try didn't go all that well as I used the wrong rice cakes, but second time around was amazing. I also add it to my Chili too to give it a little Korean twist. Going to add a little bit to my next K-recipe I'm attempting tonight: Bibimbap. Presented nicely in a sturdy tub, though the whole lid pops off when opening, but that's not really an issue for me. My English tastes buds really enjoyed this.

I have ordered this 7 times and every time it’s perfect. I’m so grateful it’s also gluten free. Perfect for all the dishes I make. Highly recommend. It adds spice without it blowing your head off. I don’t know the shelf life because I use it way to quickly for it to even consider going out of date hahaha.

You can add this to lots of recipes. Makes great sticky chicken. Only annoying thing is it came without a lid (as in the picture) only film. Which makes it difficult to store in the fridge. Other reviewer's have said the same.

This was delicious making a sauce. Would defiantly buy again!!! Little kick , lots of flavour!

great item, good price, prompt delivery. What more could you ask for?

Really good paste, heat is mild. Definitely value for money. Flavour tastes a little like Thai curry paste

This is a really nice flavoured paste, it's not crazy hot and is perfect for going into so many dishes. Nice on buttered toast too!!

Very good quality paste, I have bought other brands but this one pips all of them. When making home made Kimchi I substitute half the required Korean chilli powder with a tablespoon of this, people rave about my kimchi. It’s also fab for Korean chilli chicken too which is easy and ideal BBQ’d and served in tacos with salad for a hassle free gathering, or oven baked with rice and salad… Recipe serves 4 : Roughly chop 3 cloves of garlic and a thumb sized piece of ginger & pop into a blender with 2 tablespoons each of Korean/Chinese rice wine (normal wine will do), 2 of soy sauce, then add 1 heaped tablespoon of this chilli paste and a tablespoon of toasted sesame seed oil, blitz till smooth then rub into 6-8 chicken thighs, leave covered to marinate for 1 hour then either bbq or pop onto a greased baking tray into the oven at 190 degrees for 25 minutes or 35 minutes if using bone in thighs… Yum 😋

This gochujang has really great flavor with a nice balance of heat, sweetness, and savory depth. The texture is smooth and thick, making it easy to mix into sauces, marinades, soups, or stir fry dishes. A little goes a long way, and it adds a rich Korean-style flavor that works well in so many recipes. I’ve used it in marinades, noodle dishes, and dipping sauces, and it gives food a bold flavor without being overpowering. The quality tastes fresh and authentic, and it’s become a staple ingredient to keep in the refrigerator. Pros: * Great balance of sweet and spicy flavor * Smooth, easy-to-use texture * Very versatile for cooking * Rich flavor that enhances dishes well Cons: * None so far Overall, this is a delicious gochujang that adds excellent flavor and depth to a variety of meals.

今まで違う有名メーカー買ってたけど 私はこっちの方が好みの味です! 初めて買ってみたけど かなり使いやすい柔らかさで、辛さがめちゃくちゃ美味しいです。これはリピート確定です!

I’ve tried gochujang from UP and all the other brands available here but they are always either spoilt, used the wrong ingredients or mixed up stuff and are trying to pass it off as gochujang. This one however, has the right color, taste and texture! I saw this brand by fluke on YT and happy to see it matches the quality and taste. So if you’re looking for authentic gochujang, ditch the rest and go for this one.

Very nice! Made my ramen taste like the ones in the restaurant.
