Korean Gochujang Sauce

"Gochujang has quickly become one of our go-to sources for a slightly sweet, satisfying spice, and Trader Joe’s Korean Gochujang Sauce deftly demonstrates why. It’s made for us by a supplier in South Korea, who starts with a base of gochujang (using the same recipe as you’ll find in our very own Trader Joe’s Gochujang), to which they add a bit of canola oil and soy sauce for consistency, brown rice vinegar for a bit of contrasting sharpness, and sesame oil to round out its profile with warm, toasty, nuttiness. The result is one vastly versatile condiment that’s equally enjoyable on burgers, bulgogi, bánh mì, or Buffalo wings—and everything in between. Complex, flavorful, and conveniently drizzle-able, our Korean Gochujang Sauce makes a great topper for everything from French fries, to fried rice, to Korean Rice Cakes. In fact, it’s one of those sauces that’s so delicious in so many different situations, that you might just find yourself creating recipes just to give yourself an excuse to use it again. We’re particularly fond of featuring it in fusion-inspired dishes, like Meatless Bulgogi nachos or Kimchi eggs Benedict."
