Gochujang Paste

Gochujang paste is a staple in Korean cuisine, known for its unique blend of spicy and savory flavors. Originating from Korea, this fermented paste is made primarily from red chili peppers, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, and salt. Its flavor profile is complex, offering a balance of heat from the chilies, sweetness from the rice, and an umami depth from the fermented soybeans. The paste has a thick, smooth texture that clings well to other ingredients, enhancing their flavor. In cooking, gochujang is versatile, adding depth and spice to dishes while maintaining a certain tanginess from fermentation. It behaves well in marinades, sauces, and stews, contributing both heat and complexity without overwhelming other ingredients.
