5.0 out of 5 stars hot and spicy
I bought this hot and spicy paste for my sister who had been looking for this Korean hot pepper paste she uses for different Asian soups and dishes. Word came back that this was the real deal. A little goes a long way!
5.0 out of 5 stars this is how I like my red pepper paste - enough spiciness but not ...
this is how I like my red pepper paste - enough spiciness but not too overwhelming, quite sweet tbh and there's a subtle depth/flavor. the added soybeans at the end gives it another dimension that is quite interesting.what I like is that they clarified there is no fructose corn syrup and I guess it's the more health conscious people who try to avoid it as much as possible. whether it's for health reasons, or even weight, the substitution with rice malt syrup might make a difference.most sugars (fructose corn syrup, table sugar, honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, even fruits) contain fructose which doesn't get metabolized in our body, so it doesn't get used for energy...? although the difference might be minute, intaking too much fructose can prohibit weight loss etc. (that said, we still need to be mindful about how much of this premium red chili paste we use. calories are still calories in the end. does not mean we can use as much as we want, as this product is still quite sweet. 1 tablespoon = 6g of sugar). so use this premium chili paste as a better alternative, but keep in mind as usual about portion control etc.from what I know, rice malt syrup does not contain fructose, so it's a healthier alternative. which is why I like this product. also the first ingredient on the list is rice, followed by red pepper powder, rice malt syrup and then water. unless the ingredients were listed randomly, this shows i'm getting my money's worth of red pepper paste. if you look at other brands and their list of ingredients, it's usually high fructose corn syrup followed by red pepper powder then rice or wheat flour as the list of ingredients.from a health perspective, any product with a form of sugar as the first ingredient is already a bad alarm.so I'm ok with paying a bit more for a good product, versus one that has fillers and water/sugar.
4.0 out of 5 stars Tasty product but expiration date was shorter than expected
I've used this product in several dishes and it tasted great. It was a bit on the mild side but that's the way I prefer it. I ordered the product in March and it expired in September which was surprising, I would have expected at least a year.
5.0 out of 5 stars Like the jar
I don't use it that much and it dries up in the plastic containers. I'm hoping this glass jar and screw-on lid will work better.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good ingredients.
The real deal from Korea. Not overy spicy for a chili paste, but good flavor.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Service
Shipped super fast. Item as described. Can't wait to make Korean dish using it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Taste; Minimal Ingredients
Very good quality, for a very decent price.I wish I could find organic, but gochujang is difficult enough to find - so I settle for finding minimal ingredients, no added colors, and no msg.I like that this gochujang also has a nearly fermented quality to it... similar to a hint of miso, rather than just soy paste. That is the big taste difference to this vs what I can find at the store.I will definitely purchase again!
3.0 out of 5 stars Meh - it's okay. But had better.
This will do in a pinch - but there are much better options that taste WAY better.
