Red chili paste ("gochujang" in Korean) is one of the essential seasoning ingredients in Korean cooking. For authentic Korean cooking, other hot sauces cannot replace the unique taste and texture of gochujang. Gochujang is used in numerous korean dishes such as bibimbap, spicy rice cake ("dduk bok gi") and spicy chicken (or pork) bulgogi. It is also used to make various stews and dipping sauces, like "ssamjang" (dipping sauce for lettuce wrap). Chung-Jung-One Gold Red Chili Paste is rich in flavor and color. Sunchang (brand) has been a reputable and popular brand in Korean for many years, especially in gochujang. The color may become darker as time goes by due to the continued maturing of the paste. It is safe to eat.
