Simplest and most natural gochujang. Add cayenne or other hot chili if you need more heat, but this one has a warmer base than most gochujang. Excellent stable product for fridge use for months and months, if it takes that long, it wont lose flavor. But if you use in soup bases and sauces like I do almost daily this container is a great value and won’t last long at all! Thank you weee for the best price and freshest product available.
