Review: A mass market but authentic Gochujang paste - First of all, I am not in any way an expert on gochujang paste brands. I decided to buy my own supply of it to replace the little packets of it that you get in home meal kits. Blue Apron has a number of dishes that uses gochujang. Like most of those meal kit companies, Blue Apron gives you little packets of sauces to add to their dishes. So, some of the notable Asian sauces and pastes I decided to get my own and discard the included packs from Blue Apron in order to get more authentic tastes. One of the first things I noted about this gochujang paste is that it contains wheat flour and corn syrup rather than glutenous rice flour. I have read that gochujang made the traditional Korean way with glutenous rice flour is more expensive. So, this gochujang paste is more of a mass market gochujang paste than a traditional Korean gochujang paste. Nevertheless, I bought this brand because I have read that it is widely sold in Korea and is probably very close to gochujang paste made in Korean the traditional way. I wanted to compare it to the gochujang paste that Blue Apron sends. So, I squeezed out a blob of the gochujang paste that they sent on a paper plate. Then I dipped out a blob of this CJ Haechandle Gochujang paste. The first two notable differences is that the CJ Haechandle Gochujang paste is thicker and much darker in color than the gochujang paste supplied by Blue Apron. Then when I tasted the two, the CJ Haechandle Gochujang paste is significantly hotter and has a bit more "complex" taste. (I'm not sure "complex" is the correct word, but there was a slightly more full-bodied taste that for me is difficult to describe.) I also thought that the gochujang supplied by Blue Apron seemed a little saltier. The bottom line is that this CJ Haechandle Gochujang paste is probably a lot more authentic than many of the cheaper name brands sold in the United States. Most of the reviews I have read seem to agree with that viewpoint. Thus, someone who wants a gochujang paste that tastes like that used by Koreans in Korean and doesn't want to spend a lot of money to get it can buy this product. Review: Perfect seasoning, not too sweet or salty. Spicy but you won’t die. - This is the best tasting Gochujang. It’s not too sweet or too salty. It’s just perfect to even eat on its own. I like to scoop some out and dip cucumbers and carrots into it as a snack. Great for cooking as it doesn’t add sweetness. A little expensive on desertcart but happy to be able to get it delivered when I need it. Mine did arrive with the seal intact and a good expiration date. ## Features - One 17.63 oz tub of Haechandle Gochujang Hot Pepper Paste - Traditional Korean fermented chili paste made with red hot chili peppers - Sweet, savory, and spicy flavor with rich umami depth - Ideal for bibimbap, kimchi, tteokbokki, Korean BBQ, marinades, sauces, and anything needing some iconic Korean heat - Essential ingredient for Korean cooking, a pantry staple - Haechandle has proudly shared authentic Korean flavors for over 45 years ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BDRMFDZ | | Age Range Description | 13+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,474 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #4 in Chile Paste | | Brand | CJ | | Brand Name | CJ | | Container Type | Tub | | Cuisine | Korean | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 8,228 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegetarian | | Flavor | Gochujang | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00807176710760 | | Item Form | Paste | | Item Package Weight | 0.56 kg | | Item Weight | 4.54 g | | Manufacturer | CJ Foods | | Number of Items | 20 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Information | Tub | | Package Size Name | 1.1 Pound | | Package Weight | 0.56 kg | | Size | 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Gluten Free | | UPC | 807176710760 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CJ - **Flavor:** Gochujang - **Item Weight:** 4.54 g - **Package Information:** Tub - **Specialty:** Gluten Free ## Images ![Haechandle Hot Pepper Paste 500g Korean Spicy Red Chile Paste 1.1 lb., Gochujang, 17.63 Ounce - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71V8MceLrlL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it Shrimp free** A: Damien, it doesn't show Shrimp in the ingredients on the label BUTT !!! if you Have an ALLERGY you should Email the company to be on the safe side and Never put your self at Risk !!!!
