About Korean hot sauce

Korean hot sauce, commonly known as gochujang, is a flavorful and iconic condiment rooted in Korean cuisine. Made by fermenting red chili pepper flakes, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, and salt, it delivers a rich, spicy, and slightly sweet taste that enhances a variety of dishes, from bibimbap to Korean barbecue. Its fermented nature contributes probiotics, which can support gut health, while the chili peppers provide capsaicin, known for its potential anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is important to note that many store-bought versions contain added sugars and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. Low-calorie and packed with bold flavors, Korean hot sauce is a versatile choice for those seeking to add complexity and heat to meals, aligning with the vibrant culinary traditions of Korea.
