It’s about time we talk about Gochujang, a Korean staple that sounds like a Pokemon character, but is actually a rich-tasting chili paste with a license to kill (your taste buds). It’s quite addictive once you get a taste for its bold, assertive boom-boom flavor profile, which is the result of a long fermentation process in stone jars. And you know when enzymes are involved, you’re most likely in for a treat. In this case, a spicy, sweet, and savory treat with delectable hints of umami. Coat some chunks of juicy marble, throw in some greens, shrooms, and everything nice. There, 20 minutes later you are in culinary heaven. Jeulgida!
