Gochujang

Keep refrigerated after opening to maintain quality and prevent spoilage. It can last for a long time in the fridge due to fermentation, but the flavor may change slightly over time.

A little goes a long way! Gochujang is potent, so start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.

Mix it with honey or sugar and soy sauce for a quick marinade or glaze.

It's excellent in stews (jjigae), stir-fries, marinades, and even dips.

Using too much at once, which can overpower a dish with its intense flavor and heat.

Not tasting and adjusting as you cook; it's best to add gochujang gradually.
