Kochujang

Store in the refrigerator after opening to maintain flavor and prevent spoilage. It can last for a long time, but the flavor may change over extended periods.

Gochujang has a concentrated flavor, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Mix it with other ingredients like soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and honey to create a balanced sauce.

It's fantastic for making Korean BBQ marinades, spicy noodle dishes, and bibimbap.

For a milder heat, consider using less gochujang or balancing it with sweeter ingredients.

Using too much gochujang at once, which can overpower other flavors.
