Gochujang - Artisanal chili paste - Jook Jang Yeon - 250g

This artisanal Gochujang, the famous Korean fermented chili paste, is produced by the Jook Jang Yeon brand, in the Gyeongsang region, eastern South Korea. It is produced in an artisanal manner with 100% products from South Korea. This paste is made from red chili powder (gochugaru), malt syrup, glutinous rice paste and salt. These ingredients are mixed and placed in large earthenware jars and left to ferment for 3 to 6 months. All these characteristics give this product an exceptional powerful taste, both sweet and spicy, with a very good length in the mouth and real staying power in the kitchen. Its spiciness is certain, but balanced and fragrant, and I readily compare it to the spiciness of Calabrian pepper, which warms but without burning. Usage tips : It is the most marked product of Korean cuisine in my opinion, and it is used in a lot of typical Korean dishes. You will need it in the majority of Korean recipes. I love using this gochujang to make Bibimbap sauce. Simply mix two tablespoons of it with two tablespoons of very good sesame oil, add two crushed garlic cloves and a little sugar, dilute with a little water. This sauce is absolutely delicious and will allow you to season your Bibimbap perfectly! Composition : Red chili powder, malt syrup, glutinous rice paste, salt. Conservation : Store in a cool place before opening. Place in the refrigerator after opening.
