what do you use it for? sounds good

>>15467953
Mostly stir-fry and casseroles but I'm gonna try with meat and soups next

>>15467953
used it with fish sauce to pickled several veggies
worth it m8

>>15467990
This. It's great in stirfrys and fried rice dishes. Surprised to see it posted here desu, shit is delicious.

>>15467692
i put garlic salt on my ass and then use my finger to wipe the buttcrack and lick it

>>15467990
Considering it’s used in the base of every korean soup and stew I can imagine the results will be fantastic
I myself haven’t bothered to try korean stew making but I’ll ease into it by using their soup broth recipe in my next hot pot

>>15467953
roast chicken

>>15467953
really good in braises and on grilled meat/veggies

>>15467692
also, this is objectively the best chicken wing condiment (assuming you make a sauce with it)

Fish sauce, cause I'm not a pussy.

>>15467692
houmous

>anchovie paste
>garlic chili paste
>miso
All are great if used properly. And they are my hidden ingredients if used in the proper manner.

You should make budae jjigae (army base stew). I guarantee you that you won’t regret it. A lot of Americans stationed in SK love this dish because it’s the perfection fusion.

Hello and good day, fellow fermented Asian bean and legume pastes enthusiast.

I highly suggest army base stew. It’s surprisingly delicious.

did I buy bad gochujang, it gives food artificial ramen flavor packet aroma

>>15469773

That's probably how it's supposed to taste like. Mine tastes like acid rotten söy and the smell didn't go away even after a dishwasher cycle.

>>15468206
it gets posted here all the time. even the image OP is using is the standard thread image every time it comes up

gochujang good, but i find it hard to fit into anything other than a bibimbap or on bulgogi

>>15469773
>>15469789
Gochujang is supposed to taste like sweetish peppers with a hint of nuttiness. You two definitely have a bad batch.

>>15469909
Here’s a list that I can think of where gochujang is an essential ingredient:
-korean fried chicken
-sweet and crunchy tofu
-gochujang shrimp
-spicy octopus/samgyeopsal stir fry
-spicy pork
-army base stew
-dakgalbi
-kimchi bibim guksu
-kimchi udon noodles
-kimchi fried rice with seafood
-kimchi jjigae
-jjamppong
-ssamjang sauce (a bbq dipping sauce for grilled meats)
-tteokbokki
-dakdoritang
-gamjatang

Hope that helps!

In ever asian grocery I visit, all of these tubs contain a bunch of corn syrup. Is this just how it is or can you get some without the sugar?

This is a wonderful all purpose chili sauce, i use it frequently.

>>15468684

>>15469979
>korean fried chicken
Gochujang isn't used most Korean fried chicken recipes.
>sweet and crunchy tofu
>army base stew
>kimchi bibim guksu
>kimchi jjigae
>dakdoritang
>gamjatang
You use gochugaru and not gochujang.

>>15467692
Gochujang is the new sriracha sauce and you faggots will be back to mocking anyone who uses it in a little bit.

I throw caraway in basically all my dishes.

>>15470312
There are different variations of kfc, yes, but I’m obviously talking about the most well known one, and that is the spicy version, which does incorporate gochujang.

The only dish on that list that may not be in need of it is kimchi jjigae. If you don’t believe me, look up the recipe for each dish.

I use za'atar with everything lately - chicken, fish, homemade bread, roasted vegetables, baked feta, fried chickpeas, breakfast eggs

>>15470324
>caring about the meme aspect of ingredients rather than taste and usefulness
Weak/10

>>15467692
I really like it but rarely use it outside korean cuisine.
People use it in Chinese dishes for instance because they don't know about the Chinese version.

>>15470378
You only care about it because it's a meme right now and will discard it the same way you discard every meme, like you discarded sriracha sauce, which a year or two ago was "the greatest sauce EVAR" and you put it on everything. It's just tedious.

>>15469752
But spam tho

>>15470363
>but I’m obviously talking about the most well known one
That's debatable which one is the most well known. Yetnaltongdalk, which I just posted, is the original Korean fried chicken.
None of those dishes I listed use gochujang. You use gochugaru, not gochujang. The recipes call for gochugaru and not gochujang unless you're talking about some jank ass English recipe. The only reason you'd use gochujang in, say, budaejjigae, is because you don't know better.
Here, let me prove it:
https://namu.wiki/w/%EB%B6%80%EB%8C%80%EC%B0%8C%EA%B0%9C
>양념은 고추가루 2큰술, 간장 1큰술, 다진 마늘, 다진 파, 다진 생강을 인원수대로 늘리면 된다. 고추장을 넣으면 텁텁한 맛이 나니까 넣지 않는다.
Translation
>Seasoning can be increased by adding 2 tablespoons of red pepper powder (gochugaru), 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and minced ginger. Do not add red pepper paste (gochujang) because it tastes thick.
Now you know better. Cook correctly.

salt

>>15470486
You can take it out and add your favorite instant meats. But at least add one slice of spam in there and tell me how it tastes, even spam haters apparently like it.

>>15470486
Spam isn't really that bad when it's cooked.

>>15470476
Gochujang isn’t supposed to be put on everything because it’s an ingredient, not a condiment like sriracha. So it’s not as versatile as you think.

>>15470523
>>15470527
I've never had spam. Any alternatives you reccomend?

>>15470530
I didn't say it was versatile. I said it's a meme and people like the OP who literally said he puts it on everything is a faggot who just blindly follows stupid memes.

>>15470549
Try Richam.

>>15469752

>>15467692
Gochujang has way too much sugar in it.

>>15467990
Try a pork belly marinated in gochujang, gochugaru, some herbs to your liking braised low and slow
10/10, would bang

>>15470549

>>15470549
This stuff. It’s a smoked fish ham. You could also add some mini sausages.

Dwenjang is better than gochujang.

>>15470604
doenjang + gochujang = ssamjang

>>15470630
Dwenjang > ssamjang > gochujang

>>15470595
>Product of Denmark
One of our greatest shames

>>15470604
What does this taste like?

>>15470476
I literally never heard or read about it except a few korean recipes before I bought it, faggot. Stop living your life according to what some people on the internet think, it's fucking pathetic

>>15471209
What do you think the food meme will be? Nam pla prik? Or something even gayer? I want to know so I can start calling you a faggot in advance.

>>15470899
Salty coin

>>15471329
I don't know and I don't care. I buy what I like regardless of its popularity and you should do the same.

Everything tastes better with a few cloves of garlic and recipes that call for garlic benefit from doubling or tripling the amount of garlic added

>>15470365
I forgot how nice that is, gonna buy some next time

>>15467953
>>15467990
try using them in some udon peanut noodles!

>>15467692
I've started using BBQ sauce in place of ketchup and my life has improved dramatically.

>>15470899
basically like japanese miso

>>15468206
Its not like using Bantu ant dick paste, you can buy this stuff at most markets now a days

>>15473583
>wait until he figures out how to make his own WITH ketchup.

>>15467692
Based. I made some chicken wings with that the other day. Shit was cash

Bought this online for some peruvian recipes and now i use it for everything. Its bittersweet and tastes kinda like habenero/scotch bonnet but without the spice

>>15473902
>not smoking his own bbq sauce ingredients.

>>15473909
>>15467990
>>15467953
Try it rubbed on pork belly then roasting it. Like Korean char siu.

>>15467692
the wife makes kimchi and korean soups/rice dishes with this stuff. It's great in soups and you could get away with substituting tomato paste with this.

>>15473936
Oh, I have Anon. Baby steps for the 'chup escapee though.
Those onions look phenomenal though.

>>15467990
>>15467692
This shit is bomb for soups. Makes good hotpot style Ramen noodles, especially when combined with japanese udon.

>>15471676
You literally just buy whatever meme food is popular because you're a mindless faggot.
If people started a meme about how great purple ketchup is, you'd run out and buy a bunch and make endless faggy threads about how you put it on everything because you're a stupid consumer whore.

Why does /ck/ hate sriracha so much? It's got a little spicy and a little sweet, goes well with many dishes. You guys are just contrarian faggots who hate anything that's popular. I bet you shit on Nickelback too. God, if I ever saw you in real life I'd spit my snus pouch at you.

>>15470899
It’s fermented soybean just like miso which you’re likely familiar with.
The only difference is miso uses some kind of grains in the fermentation process but that korean stuff is 100% soybean fermented. It’s stronger and saltier than miso, which is mellow and mildly sweet.

>>15474330
Because it was overhyped, and people got sick of hearing about it.

>>15467692
*blocks you're path"

>>15474310
Clam down you fucking faggot, can't belive that rustled your Jimmies so much

>>15474703

>>15470491
Ok

>>15472591
agreed

>>15470573
Are you really supposed to put cheese on it?

>>15467692

>>15474872
Yes. The whole point of the meal is you're taking a Korean dish and adding spam and cheese and hot dog sausages you'd get from a US army base (hence the translation "army stew").

>>15474872
No, it’s optional. Just throw in whatever you want in there, like spam, mini sausages, hot dogs, tofu, bean sprouts, rice cakes, enoki/shiitake mushrooms, green onions, kimchi, spinach, instant ramen etc. For my taste, I’d skip the cheese and canned beans that the recipes typically ask for.

>>15474948
Nah, you should use canned beans and cheese. Not only does it taste better, but it's the whole point of the meal as >>15474938 points out.

>>15474948
you could even add in some mini dumplings if you’re feeling extra fatty

>>15474966
Trust me, I tried it with canned beans once and I couldn’t stand the texture of the soup broth, it felt really mushy and grainy... and American cheese is too bitter for me, but maybe mozzarella will be a decent substitute.

>>15474985
You cooked it wrong then and don't understand the dish.

>>15467990
I always make my chicken paprikash with gochujang - can't have it without.

>>15474992
Why? That sounds like trash.
>hey guys, i made spaghetti, but instead of a tomato sauce, i used ranch dressing

>>15474872
no, its a trap if you fall for it and add cheese they know your an american spy and you get shot.

>>15474310
the projection is real

Any korean-anons know the types of ham being shown in this picture? I saw them featured in a video exploring a budae jjigae restaurant in Korea, and I’d rather use these than gross spam.

>>15470860
Dude, we make such a huge profit of these little shits you wont even believe it

it works with everything somehow, especially on green beans roasted in butter
