High Gochugaru Content, Made in Gangwon Province
[Kwon Young Won] Traditional Gochujang (400g)
- 40% Korean gochugaru
- With milkvetch root
- Made in Jeongseon
- No MSG or preservatives
Today, we introduce a delicious gochujang by Master Kwon Young Won, made in Jeongseon, deep in the mountains of Gangwon Province: Traditional Gochujang (권영원 황기고추장).
What we love most about this recipe is the generous amount of gochugaru (Korean red chili powder): it makes up 40% of the recipe, the highest share among all the artisan gochujang brands we carry. It tastes like the bold, old-school countryside gochujang our grandparents enjoyed.
It’s also mixed with a special ingredient: milkvetch root powder (황기, hwanggi). Milkvetch root is one of the fundamental herbs of traditional Korean medicine, and it adds its own deep, rich flavor.
Tasting note: this gochujang has a very clean finish and isn’t as earthy as other artisan gochujang. The texture is a little looser, so it mixes easily. It’s one of our absolute favorites.
It works wonderfully as a base for spicy Korean sauces, such as bibimbap sauce or spicy meat marinades, or as a dip for fresh vegetable sticks.
Master Kwon Young Won is the Chairman of the Jeongseon Traditional Foods Research Association. In 2015, Master Kwon’s food was selected as athlete food for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and Master Kwon has been featured on KBS’s “Hansik Collection” (2018) and “Korean Table” (2011).
So what’s inside?
Full Ingredients List Gochugaru 40%, meju powder 13%, corn syrup 13%, refined salt 13%, brown glutinous rice 11%, milkvetch root powder 7%, malted barley 3%. All from Korea except the salt, whose origin isn’t stated on the label.
In the box One 400 g tub (PET tub, PE lid). Made by 권영원향토음식 in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province, South Korea.
To keep Refrigerate once it arrives, and always after opening. Best before the date printed on the tub.
Good to know Contains soy. It’s made with malted barley, so it isn’t gluten-free. Gochujang is naturally fermented, so it keeps releasing a little gas inside the tub. We vacuum-seal every tub before it ships to prevent leaks, but changes in air pressure during the flight can still push out a little gas or paste. It’s still safe to eat, and a small leak isn’t grounds for a refund or exchange.
