For people who like Gochujang.

like thousands of recipes, it’s not hard to find a use for it. you’ll find better answers by googling though, we’re all retarded here

I like using it for stew but also to cook stuff I might shove into dumplings

gochujang cream pasta is the only proof we have of a loving god

>find asian condiment/sauce
>one million grams of sodium per tsp

>>19005645
everything
i have it just on toast sometimes with some melted cheese
spread some in a grilled cheese and toss a fried egg in there, best fucking shit ever

>>19005645
It's good for a garbage bin

>>19005645
it's fucking foul

>>19005645
It can be used as a condiment, meat marinade, or even added to soups and stir-fry dishes for a spicy kick.

>>19005645
I added some to my frozen kung pao chicken this evening.

>>19005645
It's used in pickling for kimchi.

>>19006887
Try the Trader Joe’s version, it tastes much fresher.

>>19005645
I use it as a main ingredient in a bbq sauce I meant but I need to tweak my recipe

>>19005645
you can make a pretty nice sauce using it, with sake, soy sauce, garlic+ginger, white pepper, thyme, basil, oregano, black pepper, and a tiny bit of strawberry jam

>>19005645
for chinks

>>19005645
Used in cramming practices.

reheating fried rice with a spoonfull of this

Not OP, but I got a jar for Christmas -- still unopened -- and am wondering how I'm gonna use it. A lot of the recipes I found just said to mix it with mayo, lol. Also I'm hesitating because of how many anons have said it's too sweet

>>19007745
Look up Maangchi

>>19005645
Fry rice, marinate meat, soups like haemulthan.

>>19007745
Just taste a spoonful. It's very good, back of tongue sweet, dull spicy. Use it to make sauces like for bbq

>>19005645
>Brown rice red pepper paste
so it's literally just spicy mochi.
why not just get the peppers?

>>19007006
Got a recipe that uses it? I've never seen one that uses gochujang. Always uses gochugaru.

>>19008175
It's not common to use to make kimchee, you're right, it's gochugaru
Maangchi's like 65 BTW how does she even?

>>19008157
It's one of those sauces that's like "Nothing compares, if you aren't using it in your dishes then they just don't taste right".

>>19005645
GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG

I use it for bibimbap, bibimguksu, rabokki, tteokbokki, marinating, and I’ve heard some people use it along with miso for a spicier miso soup
I also get the spicy gochujang, not sure why they sweeten it up

>>19005663
fpbp

>>19006877
No gcj in kimchi.

>>19005645
Mix with mayo. I use it in Korean bbq sauce. Use in meat marinades.

Is it just me or does this stuff taste good by itself. Dont know why but i like the powderiness

i fry with it or put it in soup

>>19005645
it's one of 3 korean flavors

>>19005645

i eat a lot of korean food at restaurants and i love that style. im not sure if the things i get use it but at home ive never liked it. i might have gotten a bad brand but to me when i tasted it straight before cooking with it, it tasted like rice wine vinegar, and a pepper that wasnt spicy and didnt have much flavor besides like a semi-chili powder-esque kinda thing. im pretty sure you can make your own thats a lot better.


>>19008175
>>19008178

id start with this and make your own sauce.

>>19005645
Mabo Tofu, or just dip raw veggies in it

>>19005645
That's not rooster and you should feel sad

>>19010866
Totally different condiment

>>19008817
This masa harina is really good in chile, only if done in a slurry otherwise it clumps up.

>>19005685
sodium is good for you

>>19010867
That's why it's really good on dim sum, like dumplings and wontons.

>>19010872
I like watching sodium and potassium tablets blow up in beakers full of water, always remember to wear goggles so if the glass explodes it doesn't hit your eyes.

>>19010866
Fun fact - Siracha is considered overpriced shit in Vietnam.

>>19010872
Not really. You need very little sodium. The more you eat, the worse it is. Because water retention, kidneys, blood pressure, heart and veins.

>>19010921
>You need very little sodium
perhabs with a sedentary lifestyle. anyone who pulls a sweat from time to time or pisses a lot needs a moderate intake of sodium to have a functional brain and to not die. That is the main reason why salt trade used to be really big and profitable. Its the only essential nutrient that a farmer couldnt pull from his fields, not because muh preserved meat

>>19010919
Fun fact - sriracha originated in Thailand

>>19011262
anyone who is pissing a lot is drinking too much water

how are Americans so fucking retarded they can't even get their basic hydration right?

>>19011294
are you retarded? drinking and pissing are essential for a functional organism.
Drinking less to avoid the urge to urinate can manifest in countless of symptoms, like fucking your intervertebral discs or kidney stones

>>19005645
I bought this stuff once and tried it and it was gross AF. It tastes absolutely fucking alien. And the texture is disgusting. It reminded me of gak.
I don't want to eat something which has the texture of gak and the taste of an industrial byproduct. The first step to knowing how to mix something into other dishes is to figure out how it tastes. But this was so nasty I couldn't get past stage one.

I don't believe in hell, but I think that anyone who would put this stuff in potato salad would be going there.

>>19005685
And they still live longer than we do

Actual Korean here, honestly I dislike the taste of this on its own (hate when "fusion" places will just put gochujang on a taco or something) but its great for making a sauce when mixed with other shit. Buldak in a cast iron with a fuck ton of mozzarella melted on top is a great recipe for it.

>>19011841
That's the view I have on srriacha aswell.
I don't know how people can coat wings with the shit, it's way too garlicy.
But that makes it a fantastic ingredient I use for sauces and dishes.

>>19011294
are you upset that Americans go piss? what the fuck is wrong with you at this point.

>>19011824
he knew

>>19011841
Why not fry chili and add good quality miso later? Gochujang is low quality.

>>19005645
I use it in my chicken wing marinade. It works great.

>>19011841
So I'm not weird for not liking it on its' own? How am I supposed to know what it would be good to mix it with if I hate the taste of it by itself?

>>19012100
No you are, you're a fucking freak.
That's like coating fries in worcestershire sauce or fish sauce

>>19012100
You ever done, and I'm going to get this spelling wrong, doek beokki? Try that as an easy dish that uses a gochujang based sauce.

>>19012100
He's bulshitting you
People use this stuff like any other condiment
Go to a Korean barbecue, half the people there will be dipping their cooked meat in it

600+ lbs combined in these 2 posts alone

>>19005645
sounding lube

>>19005645
Fuckin anything savory. Gochujang is one of the best flavors out there.

>>19005685
One million grams is a thousand kilos tranny, it won't fit in a spoon

>>19006877
checked
>>19008812
If you're not using a little gochujang along with all of the gochugaru in kimchi you are fucking missing out, especially when it's fresh.

>>19011841
Are you actually living in Korea?
I know its something entirely different from actual Buldak, but it's become impossible to find that spicy Samyang Buldak Ramyun in my local ''''Asia'''' markets. Is there some nationwide shortage or something or am I just getting fucked out of these tasty noodles?

>>19005645
>ching chang chong
Why do asians do this?

>>19015995
They're smart enough to be able to read your language without thinking it's gibberish, why aren't you?

For korean niggers who like to cook (unhelathy) based menus

>>19005645
My ten year old sister was in her room using her 6 inch battery powered Gochujang I bought her for her secret birthday present.

this is true

>>19010919
Creator is Vietnamese, you fucking retard.

>>19016211
cute kitten

>>19010919
probably because it's fucking shipped from LA instead of made locally dumbass

>>19011721
Nope, Asia has record numbers of stomach cancer and they all die at 55 to 60 because they smoke

I like to spread it on a slice of bread with butter.
