Gochujang is a Korean chilli paste, that dates to the mid-ninth Century and enhances every dish it’s added to, as well as working well outside of Korean-style cooking too. It’s such a popular ingredient in Korea that The Sunchang Gochujang Festival is held every year in Gochujang Village, celebrating the home of traditional Korean sauce, or ‘jang’. While gochujang, and its chilli flake counterpart gochugaru, is made with dried chillies, the traditional process of fermentation, lasting at least six months, mellows the heat and gives a deep umami flavour. Dollop copiously over chips, in burgers. Can be stored in a fridge for up to one month. This recipe makes about 800 ml of ketchup and you need to sterilise jars before you begin.
