Selected User Reviews For Roland Foods Gochujang, Korean Fermented Hot Chili Paste, 17.6 Oz
Why did it take so long for me to realize how powerful this magic is? During the last few years, I have become kind of obsessed with Asian cuisine and cooking techniques. I thought I was quite the cook whipping up things with my miso, oils, chili paste, and so forth, but this I cannot believe what I am seeing. There is no doubt that this is a delicious, savory, spicy, but SUPER balanced dish! Anything you want can be paired with it. There's no need to hesitate, this is amazing.
The first time I looked up how to make kimchi on the internet, I had no idea what it was. In the process of putting this in, I have actually noticed how many things I have included. Adding it to ramen to make it a little spicy is especially good. Keeping this in my kitchen will become a staple for me in the future.
In this way, on and There are 45 calories in a tablespoon, 520 mg of sodium, and it has a high fat content. You're only eating 10g of What a tablespoon is worth! There are only 6g of.
I used it to make "sticky Korean chicken" in an Instapot and it turned out The recipe calls for two tablespoons of oil instead of one. I had 5 pounds of chicken and it wasn't spicy, but it wasn't burning either. My stomach grumbled when I ate it! There is only one complaint I have (which has nothing to do with the company. you need to refrigerate it after opening, and that it is a The next time I make it, I'll definitely use it in other dishes!.
It is difficult to select a favorite type of Gochujang because there are so many. My taste buds differ from everyone else's, so I will only share my opinions based on what I like. I tend to go for the Gochujang that has a musty (fermented) smell, with a modest level of spice, and I like it not to be too sweet or too As aforementioned, this particular gochujang tasted pretty nice, but it was a bit sweeter than I expected. It wouldn't be candy sweet, but you can definitely get a hint of sweetness in there (not my thing). Regardless of the sweetness, I enjoy it not so much that it affects its overall taste. I like Tabasco, but it's not as hot as I do). Then you should probably look somewhere else. Overall, I think it's a pretty good game.
It was my first time using this Korean condiment, but I bought it to use in a recipe that specified gochujang or sriracha, which I frequently use. As far as Roland's is concerned, I cannot compare it with the others. However, it is not hot at all, and it doesn't really taste like much. In my experience this is very sweet and makes it seem like those overly sweet barbecue sauces that some people like. I should have used the Sriracha that was in my fridge instead. I was able to save some money by buying second hand. I will not replace this product if it is typical of "Korean hot chili paste. ".
This is my second experience using Gochujang products, and I do not consider myself an expert in this way of chili paste. This brand of chili paste does not compete with that of the "Wholly Gochujang," which I can no longer find. "The Roland gochujang does not have the sophistication nor depth of flavor of the other brand. Since there are several alternative brands available at my local grocery store, I would consider trying them before buying this again. ".
I find this brand to be a bit spicier than other brands I've tried, but on reflection they were already mixed sauces, not.
