Get your Gochujang if you haven't already. We start Monday. This is a new one for me, so anyone who knows more about it should feel free to enlighten us.

This can be purchased at any legit Asian mart. It comes in a paste form usually in plastic containers (sometimes jars) and looks like this...
Sriracha seems to be a relatively new and pleasant find for a lot of folks so hopefully this will be a fun ingredient for people to explore. Gochujang was my nomination so I'm excited to see the potential here since it's something that is versatile and very few Americans know about.
Gochujang can also be made from scratch of course.
It's great in marinades as you're going to find out, and can also be used as a condiment. Grab a piece of lettuce or endive, smear a dab or more of Gochujang, then top with some sort of pork like pulled pork or pork belly, add kimchi or sauteed onions etc. and eat like a taco.
So...if you're tired of the ol' dashes of hot sauce or squirts of sriracha to add flavor and heat, take sail into the uncharted waters which is Gochujang.
ETA: I haven't seen this item in any mainstream grocer's Asian aisles so it's going to have to be a trip to the Asian mart or an Amazon purchase.

The Korean chili paste? I have a sister-in-law who’s 1/2 Korean. I know exactly what I’m making.

I've seen the Roland brand @ Wal-Mart (which I wouldn't recommend) & I've purchased the Sempio brand @ Kroger (which is the second picture you posted) here in the Atlanta market.
Only used it as a chili paste alternative so I don't have much experience with it. I only know that it can be really hot. Looking forward to the submissions.

It’s pretty mainstream now. Kroger in Shreveport carries more than one brand.
The Dad Cooks Dinner blog guy loves it and has several recipes.

Is this the thread where we use that ingredient to be the star (so to speak) of the dish and post pics? If so, I'm in.

I use it to make Kimchi Jjigae. Here's an old thread on some I made.

Yes, this is that thread.

Thanks for that 
I messed up, though. I picked up a dry form that I saw at Kroger. Need to go back and grab the paste.

I just came across this thread, and then found the first one. Excellent idea! I am in, will stop by an asian market today and purchase some.

That is quite the resourceful read.
Thank you
Thank you

I LOVE gochujang, but something in it disagrees with me.
It's delicious enough to eat it anyways.

I have no experience with this spice, anyone got a good recipe?
Posted on 10/2/17 at 4:02 pm to burgeman
I'm pretty sure the one thing most people have probably tasted it in is the spicy component in Kimchi. It is often used

"kimchi" cucumbers/pickles
Persian cucumbers
gochujang
rice vinegar
fish sauce
Chinese chili flakes
chives
ground ginger
ground garlic
Mix the above in a bowl and store in the fridge for a day or two.

It does taste similar to cayenne. It's sweeter and not as peppery but similar.
I ordered some of the paste, too, so will try both kinds.
