Gochujang

EverydaySweetened

Gochujang is a sweetened Korean fermented chili paste made from red chili peppers, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, and a sweetener like sugar or honey. This thick, pungent condiment develops complex savory-sweet flavors and mild heat through months of fermentation, while its live cultures offer probiotic benefits. A staple in Korean cuisine, it adds depth to dishes like bibimbap and marinades, though its carbohydrate content from rice and sweeteners requires mindful portioning for macro tracking.
