Gochujang is a thick, red chili paste that is a staple in Korean cooking.

It’s made from red chili powder, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, and salt, giving it a spicy, slightly sweet, and savory flavor.

Gochujang is used in many Korean dishes to add heat and depth of flavor, such as in bibimbap, tteokbokki, and various marinades for meats.
