I’ve used it to make spicy Korean BBQ, and the depth of flavor it adds is incredible. It has just the right amount of heat—not overwhelmingly spicy but enough to give dishes that signature Korean kick. What I love most is the authenticity of this gochujang.

The resealable tub keeps it fresh for months in the fridge, so you don’t have to worry about it drying out. Whether you’re a home cook or a seasoned chef, Roland Foods Gochujang is a staple worth adding to your pantry. It’s an essential ingredient for anyone who loves bold, complex flavors. Highly recommend!

Thick sticky paste, I heard Korean likes spicy I was scared at first but to my taste is really mild to not spicy. I cook gochujang noodles which is mixed with cream or coconut milk. If you are not use to the flavor, try couple more times and you will love it. This is my second purchase. I bought it to try some recipes. I love the flavor. The package was well done, no leaks and I had it almost a year refrigerated so it keeps the paste save. If you look to try new flavors this is the right one. You can always add spicy to your food but not take it out. So, this one is good to focus on flavor and not be scared of how hot it is.

Sweet, spicy, umami.

Just in case anybody makes a mistake that I did, this hot sauce needs to be diluted with water not because it's super hot but because depending on what you're using it for cooking it may not stick to the food itself . So what ends up happening is that it doesn't spread on the meat hypothetically and you have to use more. Also don't confuse us with the liquid hot sauce from the Ramyan noodles packages. Its thick and sturdy like a paste.

Good product and good price

I was married to a Korean and lived in Korea for 4 years. This is legit Gochujang. Very well made, tastes amazing, lasts months. I make Korean food at least half my meals and this lasts me about 3 months. Most recipes don't call for more than 1tbsp. You can put it on just about any meat and use it as a bbq rub. Spicy level is probably mild to mild+, but I'm a huge fan of spicy so take it with a grain of salt.

I ordered this on a whim after seeing someone talk about cooking with it on a live stream and decided I'd give it a try, and I love it. I've cooked multiple meals incorporating Gochujang now, most often with Tofu and fish, but I think it can be used to add flavor and spice to a variety of dishes. It is quite spicy though so a word of caution to anyone who doesn't like things too hot, but if you do, this is an awesome addition to your fridge. I've almost run out and so I've just ordered some more :)

I absolutely love this stuff. I cook a ton of dishes with it. One of my favorites is a rack of baby back ribs in the crock pot with little more than Gochujang Paste, fresh ginger and a little bit of garlic and onion. I guess it's time to go and make up a batch of ribs.....
