What goes with Gochujang?
Gochujang combines chilli, a fermented grain-and-bean base and sweetness in a thick paste. Formulations differ in heat, sugar and salt, so a spoonful is a seasoning concentrate rather than a finished sauce.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Gochujang?
Choose a clear role for the paste: coat the crisp exterior of chicken, season a pork braise, or punctuate a rice dish. Garlic supports its savoury side, while a restrained sour component keeps a sweet glaze from becoming cloying.
