Sunchang

Sunchang is a renowned Korean brand for gochujang, the fermented red chili paste that is the backbone of Korean cuisine. Made from chili, fermented soybeans, and glutinous rice, the paste has a complex flavour that is at once spicy, sweetish, and deeply umami. It is an indispensable ingredient if you want to make authentic Korean food.

What you will find here:

• Red Pepper Gochujang 500g with rich, fermented flavour

Use gochujang in classics like bibimbap and tteokbokki, stirred into marinades for grilled meat, or as a base for a spicy dipping sauce and dressing. A spoonful also adds depth to soups, stews, and stir-fries.

Tip: mix the paste with a little sesame oil, sugar, and vinegar for a quick sauce, and taste as you go, as gochujang has a strong flavour. Store the tub in the refrigerator after opening.
