{"product_id":"trader-joes-gochujang-paste-200g","title":"Trader Joe's Gochujang Paste, 200g","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith origins dating to at least the 1600s, and possibly earlier, gochujang isn’t so much an ingredient as it is an institution of Korean cuisine unto itself. Traditionally made from a mix of fermented soybeans, rice, barley, salt, and, of course, spicy red peppers, gochujang has a thick consistency and a delightfully complex flavor that’s a rare mix of savoury, sweet, and spicy, all at once. In the case of TJ’s Gochujang, they reached out to a supplier in South Korea who uses traditional fermentation techniques to achieve this uniquely delicious flavour profile, resulting in a highly versatile pepper paste that works just as well as a condiment as it does a soup base, a marinade, a dipping sauce, and so much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTJ's Gochujang beautifully balances elements of sweet and heat, which makes it an excellent choice for flavouring proteins of all kinds, from barbecued beef to pan-seared porkloin, crispy fried chicken wings to hearty tofu stew. It can spice up burgers when used as a spread, can be enjoyed with French fries either on its own or mixed with mayo, and adds a whole new dimension of flavour when added to noodle soups. And for a fun, fiery appetizer, it’s great for making kimchi-inspired quick pickles with salted smashed cucumbers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vancou-Vert Trading Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53245522510121,"sku":"sku-49457904419133","price":6.89,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/webp-1280_1_0e8cf87e-3b4c-4644-9318-32061ea76727.webp?v=1781114616","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/products\/trader-joes-gochujang-paste-200g","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
