CJ Haechandle Gochujang - Hot Pepper Paste, Korean Traditional Fermented Jang, Made with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sweet & Spicy Flavor, 1.1 Lb (Pack of 1)

I started experimenting with Korean cooking and have been having a blast and loving the flavors! Gochujang is now a main staple in my pantry because of the incredible spicy, sweet, delectable flavor! Unopened, this will last on shelf for a long time; it will have less longevity once opened, but with proper covering and refrigeration, it will still last quite a wile in the fridge! Super easy to use, store, and enjoy!

Delicious although was not expecting the funky smell

Very good. Very hot

A taste of Korea, makes super kimchee

First, the bad: my tub arrived with no lid, so I had to transfer it to another container…two other containers. It stretches. It’s also a bit pricey for the amount you get. Then again, it stretches.Now, the good: the flavor is fantastic! It’s gloopy and stretchy and sweet and spicy and sneaks up on you. For those who haven’t tried a lot of Asian condiments and such, it’s similar in consistency to a good Mexican mole, but with a flavor profile unlike much of anything else. After tasting it straight, just a little nip, the sweetness slowly faded, but the back-of-the-tongue heat lingered for a solid hour and through multiple drinks (not trying to diminish it, as it’s really not an unbearable burn, but just thirsty). I’d describe the slow burn on it as being similar to a chipotle salsa or diluted wasabi. As for what it tastes like, that’s pretty much unique to the product itself. Mixed with other sauces or vinegars, tempered with ginger and a touch of honey, even as an additive for barbecue sauce, this stuff can add a little magic to just about any dish, including various meats, vegetarian or vegan dishes, and even candies when used sparingly.*Note: I notified Amazon upon receipt of the tub with the missing lid, and a replacement was immediately processed. Fantastic customer service for a wonderful product.

Love the way this paste makes food taste 😋 the best thing ever ! it makes literally anything taste amazing , I used it with every meal I cooked even for BBQ , it's spicy so you just use a little on the go. Gluten free , quality is great, size is a little small but great for the price 👍 the consistency is thich which is great. Definitely worth it

I didn't know what to expect when I bought this. I love it. I bought the medium so I can go up on the heat. Try it.

great for cooking, great flavor, a little goes a long way :)
