Chef's Notes

We recommend lettng the gochujang sit in the refrigerator 1–2 days before using as it will balance in flavour and texture with time. Gochujang is a great way to added serious flavour without adding a lot of extra salt, sugar, or fat. It also contains miso, a fermented food that supports gut health and overall health.
