Gochujang sauce is a Korean fermented chili paste that is used to add intense spicy, salty, and sweet notes to marinades, sauces, dips, and stews. It is made from Korean red chili peppers that have been ripened on the plant until glossy and cardinal red. The peppers are sun-dried, crushed, and fermented with sugar, salt, soybeans, and glutinous rice (a sticky sweet rice) . Gochujang sauce has a bold sweet, spicy, umami flavor and is used in Korean recipes, but it can be used as a dipping sauce or drizzled over veggies, rice, or other dishes. It is a versatile sauce that can be used to flavor a variety of foods, such as noodles, rice dishes, stews, braises, marinades, and sauces. Gochujang sauce is easy to make and requires only a few ingredients, including gochujang paste, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar.
