Tag: Gochujang ingredients

Dating back to the Joseon Dynasty, gochujang is a foundational Korean fermented condiment renowned for its unique mix of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. The secret to its signature taste lies in the core ingredients of gochugaru, glutinous rice, and fermented soybeans.

While many gochujang recipes contain wheat or barley malt, it is a common misconception that all versions are unsafe for those with wheat sensitivities or celiac disease. In fact, an increasing number of brands now produce delicious gochujang that is entirely wheat-free.
