Korean paste, commonly known as gochujang or doenjang, is a staple in Korean cuisine, prized for its bold flavors and versatile applications. Gochujang is a fermented red chili paste made with chili peppers, glutinous rice, soybeans, and salt, offering a balance of spiciness, sweetness, and umami. Doenjang, on the other hand, is a savory soybean paste made from fermented soybeans and brine, known for its deep, earthy flavor. Both are rich in probiotics due to fermentation, which may aid digestion and gut health. They are high in antioxidants from chili peppers and soybeans, delivering potential anti-inflammatory benefits. However, they can be high in sodium, so portion control is important. Korean paste is ideal for marinades, soups, stews, and sauces, adding depth and authenticity to dishes while providing a nutrient-packed, flavorful option.
