Cultured Palate: Dishes from South Korea

Gochujang
Gochujang is a popular Korean condiment that’s frequently used as a topping, a marinade, and everything in between. It’s made of hot peppers, sticky rice, soybeans, and salt. All of these ingredients lead to a rich, earthy flavor that lends itself well to both meat and veggie dishes.
However, gochujang isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill hot sauce. Like kimchi, gochujang is fermented, which means it packs a sour punch that you may not find in other types of hot sauce.
