Haven’t tried gochujang paste? For heat aficionados, it’s the perfect Korean condiment to spice up your grilling.
Combining the intense flavor of chile powder with subtly sweet rice vinegar and fruited preserves, this paste makes a great baste for chicken wings as well.
If you can’t find any type of fermented-chile bean paste in your local store, you can substitute sriracha, harissa or any red chili paste.
