Chung Jung One Gochujang Hot Red Pepper Paste 500 g

I bought this so I could cook some authentic tteokbokki and other Korean dishes, as I was watching Bon Appetite, Your Majesty and Business Proposal and the food looked really tasty. There isn't a Korean restaurant around here and I love to cook, so I have little choice but to make it myself. It's a very warm kind of heat, it's quite spicy, I use one heaped teaspoon in the recipe I found (500g of ricecakes), and I like mild to medium heat so it was at my limit, but then it dies away and leaves a tingling heat behind, that compliments the other flavours bringing them out. My first try didn't go all that well as I used the wrong rice cakes, but second time around was amazing. I also add it to my Chili too to give it a little Korean twist. Going to add a little bit to my next K-recipe I'm attempting tonight: Bibimbap. Presented nicely in a sturdy tub, though the whole lid pops off when opening, but that's not really an issue for me. My English tastes buds really enjoyed this.

I have ordered this 7 times and every time it’s perfect. I’m so grateful it’s also gluten free. Perfect for all the dishes I make. Highly recommend. It adds spice without it blowing your head off. I don’t know the shelf life because I use it way to quickly for it to even consider going out of date hahaha.

You can add this to lots of recipes. Makes great sticky chicken. Only annoying thing is it came without a lid (as in the picture) only film. Which makes it difficult to store in the fridge. Other reviewer's have said the same.

This was delicious making a sauce. Would defiantly buy again!!! Little kick , lots of flavour!

Very good quality paste, I have bought other brands but this one pips all of them. When making home made Kimchi I substitute half the required Korean chilli powder with a tablespoon of this, people rave about my kimchi. It’s also fab for Korean chilli chicken too which is easy and ideal BBQ’d and served in tacos with salad for a hassle free gathering, or oven baked with rice and salad… Recipe serves 4 : Roughly chop 3 cloves of garlic and a thumb sized piece of ginger & pop into a blender with 2 tablespoons each of Korean/Chinese rice wine (normal wine will do), 2 of soy sauce, then add 1 heaped tablespoon of this chilli paste and a tablespoon of toasted sesame seed oil, blitz till smooth then rub into 6-8 chicken thighs, leave covered to marinate for 1 hour then either bbq or pop onto a greased baking tray into the oven at 190 degrees for 25 minutes or 35 minutes if using bone in thighs… Yum 😋

This is a really nice flavoured paste, it's not crazy hot and is perfect for going into so many dishes. Nice on buttered toast too!!

Exactly what I wanted, delivered quickly

So good. I have bought a few times now

Superb taste and quality. Would highly recommend. Tastes like authentic gojuchang

turned out to be an excellent surprise and is every bit as good as my usual brand. The paste has a balanced medium heat with a nice depth of flavor, combining gentle sweetness with rich, savory umami. The ingredient list is straightforward, with brown rice, red pepper powder, and no corn syrup, which is a nice bonus for a pantry staple used often. The 500 g tub is convenient, seals well, and stores neatly in the fridge,

辛く無く、少し甘味が有り、焼肉屋さんのコチュジャンと同じ、美味しく頂ける、野菜にもマッチ！

Tastes great, arrived very quickly
