🌶️ [O'FOOD] Red Pepper Paste: Gochujang (170g)

Discover the "clean label" secret to Korean heat in a perfectly portable size.

This 170g tube is the ideal "trial size" for those new to Korean cooking or for kitchens where space and freshness are top priorities. 

🔬 The Science of the "Spicy Glaze" (Action & Benefits)

• Natural Fermentation: Unlike mass-produced sauces, this paste undergoes a traditional fermentation process that develops complex amino acids, resulting in a deep, "meaty" Umami without the meat.

• Brown Rice Base: O'Food uses brown rice for fermentation, which adds a distinct nutty undertone and a smoother sweetness compared to standard white rice versions.

• Sun-Dried Purity: Made with sun-dried red peppers, the heat is vibrant and "clean," providing a brilliant red color to your dishes without an artificial aftertaste.

💡 Pro Tips for the European Kitchen

• The "K-Taco" Sauce: Mix a squeeze of Gochujang with sour cream or Greek yogurt. It creates a Spicy Crema that is revolutionary on tacos, baked potatoes, or grilled corn. 🌮

• Spicy Glazed Salmon: Brush a mixture of Gochujang, maple syrup, and soy sauce onto Salmon or Tofu before air-frying. It creates a sticky, caramelized crust that is restaurant-quality. 🐟

• The "Emergency" Spice: Keep this tube in your desk or travel bag! A small squeeze can instantly transform a bland cup of noodles or a simple sandwich into a gourmet spicy meal. 🍜

⚠️ Caution & Storage

• Tube Convenience: The squeeze-tube design is highly hygienic and prevents the paste from drying out, which is a common issue with traditional tubs.

• Heat Level: Moderate. It provides a noticeable warmth that builds slowly, making it accessible for most palates.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening to preserve the delicate fermented aromatics and the bright red color.

📋 Ingredients & Action

• Brown Rice: Provides the fermented sugars for a smooth, nutty sweetness.

• Red Pepper Powder: The source of the signature Korean heat and deep crimson color.

• Fermented Soybean Paste: Acts as the savory "Umami" anchor for the sauce.

   

• Isomalto-oligosaccharide: A functional carbohydrate that adds gloss and balances the spice.

• Allergy Advice: Contains Soy. Naturally gluten-free (check label for specific batch certifications).
