Korean fermented red-chile paste made with chile powder, grain or starch, fermented soybean material, and salt.
Shelf-stable
What it is
How we read a bare request for this
Resolve to concentrated paste, not a bottled gochujang-flavored sauce or marinade.
Where it is used
Used as a concentrated seasoning and sauce base, including many tteokbokki preparations.
Also called
Korean fermented chile paste, 고추장, Korean red pepper paste, gochujang
Do not resolve without the stated culinary or product context.
Forms that matter
Concentrated fermented chile pasteUsual form
Traditional concentrated gochujang paste sold in tubs or jars.
Used for: Seasoning and sauce base.
Not interchangeable with: gochujang sauce; gochujang marinade; sriracha; doenjang.
When the dish decides
Tteokbokki — points to Concentrated fermented chile paste
Common gochujang-based preparation; do not use bottled gochujang sauce as the default ingredient match.
Easily confused with
Chili crisp / fried chile condiment in oil — Gochujang is a concentrated Korean fermented chile paste; chili crisp is a Chinese fried-chile condiment in oil. The shared word 'chile' is not equivalence and neither substitutes for the other.
Turkish pepper paste / biber salçası — Gochujang is a fermented Korean chile paste whose formula varies by maker and may include sweetener or glutinous rice; biber salçası is unfermented concentrated pepper paste. They are not interchangeable.
Ssamjang — Commercial ssamjang commonly contains gochujang or red-pepper seasoning, but gochujang alone is a concentrated chile paste and is not ssamjang.
Where to look — by form
Each of these is recorded against one particular form or product, named on the card. None of them is a claim about Gochujang in general, and none is a claim about any other form. Search a form by name to source it as your actual request.
