Tips

Korean chili paste, or gochujang, is traditionally a spicy fermented mixture made from crushed Korean hot pepper called gochugaru, but this easy take on the original requires no hard-to-find ingredients. Miso adds a signature fermented flavour, and the red colour and spiciness comes from a mixture of cayenne and paprika. It’s used as a condiment on lots of Korean dishes, like Easy Beef Bibimbap Rice Bowl .
You can use any colour miso paste in this easy recipe.
Vary the spiciness by decreasing or increasing the cayenne pepper. This version is about the same spiciness level as sriracha.
