Wang Korea Gochujang

Gochujang or red chili paste is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented condiment, popular in Korean cooking. It is made from chili powder and glutinous rice, which adds a slight sweetness that comes through the heat. Gochujang is most often used as a base for stews such as budae jjigae (Korean army stew), dakgalbi (spicy Korean chicken stir-fry), and tteokbokki (spicy stir-fried rice cakes).
