Gochujang: Korea’s Fiery, Flavorful Superpaste
Gochujang, Korea’s iconic red chili paste, is a fermented blend of chili powder, glutinous rice, soybeans, and salt. Rich, savory, and slightly sweet, it adds depth to stews, glazes meats, and spices up dishes like bibimbap. Chef Janine uses it at Comfort Keto for bold, crave-worthy meals. Beyond flavor, it boosts metabolism, supports weight and heart health, and aids digestion. Packed with antioxidants and nutrients, it's a flavorful, long-lasting health staple.
