Cooking tips

  • The key to this rich, savory umami flavor lies in roasting the dried shrimp in oil first before grinding—it’s a secret no one else can replicate.
  • After adding gochujang, keep the heat low—high heat causes the bottom to burn quickly, so always reduce to medium-low and stir continuously.
  • Adding joecheong (corn syrup) at the final stage enhances the color and gives the stir-fry gochujang a glossy, appetizing sheen.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a magical gochujang that tastes amazing just by mixing into rice, like bibimbap or lettuce wraps.
  • Anyone looking to stock up on a reliable, all-purpose base sauce that acts like a cheat code in countless recipes.
