Since 1934, Roland Foods' versatile team of veteran chefs, food lovers, and logistics wizards have connected people around the world to explore their culinary passions, importing more than 1,500 products from North America, South America, Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

One such product is the Roland Foods Gochujang Paste, grown and imported from South Korea. Gochujang is a fermented hot chili paste with a strong umami flavor, similar to miso paste, but with the addition of fiery gochu chilies. Traditionally, Gochujang is used in marinades for Korean barbecue, added to dipping sauces, or used to kick up the spice in home-style stews or soups.

Roland Foods' Gochujang Paste is made with fermented soybean powder, providing a tangy, savory, and sweet flavor profile. Due to its intense flavor and thick texture, the paste should be thinned out with oil, stock, or water before use. This versatile ingredient can be used to add a savory kick to home-style dipping sauces and marinades, or to create a variety of dishes, including kimchi, ramen, bibimbap, rice bowls, barbecue, stews, and soups.

One of the recommended uses for Roland Foods Gochujang Paste is to prepare a bibimbap chili sauce, which can be used to coat grilled chicken wings or to top Korean beef tacos, adding a tangy blast of heat to these dishes. The paste can also be used to add a fiery touch to just about any food, as it provides a strong umami flavor similar to miso paste, with the added kick of the gochu chili.

In summary, Roland Foods Gochujang Paste is a versatile and flavorful ingredient that can be used in a wide range of dishes. Its strong umami flavor, combined with the heat of the gochu chili, makes it a unique and essential ingredient for those looking to explore the depths of Korean cuisine or add a savory, spicy kick to their culinary creations.
