Gochujang is a Korean condiment made from glutinous rice powder mixed with powdered fermented soybeans and powdered red peppers. It is like a mixture of miso and chilli powder. The paste is traditionally fermented in the sun.
Other grains can be substitued for the glutinous rice, including normal rice, wheat and barley. A slight sweetener (sugar, syrup or honey) is also sometimes added.
It is used in jjige soup, and to marinade meat.
