Gochujang
Gochujang
Gochujang is an almost unbelievably beautiful fermentation from Korea, broken down into many steps, each months apart, each step relying on the seasonal harvest of the time of year in which it takes place. However, it takes some effort to find gochujang in the USA that isn’t mostly corn syrup mixed with hot pepper flakes. Our humble addition to the collection is deep & earthy from fermented soy, and its sweetness comes from malted Pennsylvania grain breaking down rice to unlock its natural sugar. Spicy level 6/10.
Gochujang is the base for many traditional sauces like ssamjang and bibimbap sauce. You can also get creative with it as the spicy element in your BBQ sauce or spicy mayo. For inspiration outside of sauces, check out our Chicken-Fried Hot Tofu!

Gochujang is not perishable, strictly speaking. All of our miso has fermented for months at room temperature. However, we do not pasteurize or treat the miso with ethyl alcohol to stabilize it, so its quality will suffer in warm, uncontrolled conditions.
