Our organic Gochujang is a fermented chilli paste from Korean cuisine. This versatile Korean spice paste is characterised by its combination of savoury, sweet and spicy flavours. Our gochujang is based on gochu chilli peppers from original Korean seeds. These are grown especially for us by a Demeter garden centre in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and then diligently crushed, dried and finely ground into gochugaru. By adding our own Amazake, Miso and Doburoku, gives the mimi Gochujang a sweet and savoury note alongside the spicy heat of the chilli. This means that our gochujang paste is also completely free from added sugar.

How to use

You can enhance almost any dish with Gochujang paste. Whether it's stir-fries, noodle dishes, bowls, vegetables, fish or meat. Korean classics such as bibimbap, bulgogi and budaejjigae only become truly delicious when you add gochujang sauce. This also applies to kimchi jeon, a savoury pancake that is spiced up and slightly hot with gochujang chilli paste. Our gochujang is also excellent for making kimchi, a lactic acid fermented vegetable in which Chinese cabbage is the main ingredient.

If you like it spicy, we also recommend our Turuncu Shio Koji .

Background

For centuries, gochujang was traditionally fermented naturally in clay pots, known as jangdok (Korean for clay pot), for years. This usually took place on a terrace in a jangdokdae, a special outdoor area specifically designed for fermenting foods such as kimchi and gochujang as well as for storing rice.

Gochujang not only provides a pleasant heat, but also offers some health benefits. By using fermented red chilli peppers, gochujang contains antioxidants that can protect cells from oxidative stress. The natural fermentation leads to the formation of probiotic bacteria, which can promote intestinal health and thus support the immune system. The capsaicin in the chilli peppers not only provides the spiciness of gochujang, but also stimulates the metabolism, regulates the appetite and has anti-inflammatory properties. According to a Chinese study, the consumption of chilli also reduces blood pressure in Chinese adults.
