a bowl of Korean Chicken Stew with Gochujang Sauce

Gochujang is Korea’s favorite chili sauce and an essential cooking ingredient in Korean cuisine. Gochujang is made from fermented soybeans and chilies. It has a wonderful range of sweet, spicy and umami flavors. You can purchase Gochujang at Asian markets, online and in the Asian section of many grocery stores.

The sauce for this Korean chicken stew has a good amount of Gochujang, mixed with sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and brown sugar. This mixture of ingredients is pure heaven. I have become totally enamored with it. In addition to making this Korean chicken stew once a week, I’ve been trying out a variety of different recipes using this sauce. Last night I marinated salmon in it – wonderful! Stay tuned for more recipes with gochujang.
