[Chung Jung One] 100% Korean Gochujang Paste (500g)

A Deep, Rich Flavor with Two Fermentation Cycles

[Chung Jung One] 100% Korean Gochujang Paste (500g)

  • Korean farm ingredients
  • Fermented twice
  • Sunchang made
  • 500 g tub

Gochujang (Korean red chili paste) goes into stews, stir-fries, braised dishes and grilled meats. It’s a staple of Korean cooking, and this is one of Korea’s best-known: Chung Jung One’s Sunchang 100% Korean Gochujang (청정원 순창 100% 국산 고추장).

Chung Jung One is one of Korea’s biggest food brands. This version is made with Korean rice, Korean chili powder, Korean salt and Korean soybeans: every farm ingredient on the label is grown in Korea.

The paste is fermented twice, which gives it a clean, deep and well-rounded taste. Rice makes up 23.2% and chili powder 10.1%.

It adds a robust heat to any Korean dish without overwhelming it.

So what’s inside?

Full Ingredients List Rice syrup (rice), purified water, rice, chili powder 10.1%, refined salt, rice fermentation distillate (rice), roasted soybean powder, soybean meju and koji starter. All farm ingredients from Korea.

In the box One 500 g plastic tub. Made by Daesang (대상㈜) at its Sunchang plant in North Jeolla Province, South Korea.

To keep Keep it in a cool place away from direct sunlight, and refrigerate after opening. Best before the date printed on the top of the tub.

Good to know Contains soy; may contain traces of wheat. 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.

Product FAQ

Ask a Question
What size is it?

One 500 g tub.

What is the full ingredients list?

Rice syrup (Korean rice), purified water, Korean rice, Korean chili powder 10.1%, Korean refined salt, rice fermentation distillate (Korean rice), roasted soybean powder (Korean soybeans), Korean soybean meju and koji starter. Contains soy; may contain traces of wheat.

Where are the ingredients from?

Every farm ingredient on the label (rice, chili powder, salt and soybeans) is from Korea.

Is this gluten-free?

No. There’s no wheat or barley in the ingredients, but the label says it may contain traces of wheat, so it isn’t sold as gluten-free.

Is it spicy?

Yes, it has a solid medium heat.

How do I store this?

Keep it in a cool place away from direct sunlight, and refrigerate it after opening.

Who makes this gochujang?

Daesang (대상), the company behind Chung Jung One, makes it at its Sunchang plant in North Jeolla Province.

What’s the shelf life?

Please check the date printed on the top of the tub.

After a few months, the paste has turned darker in color. Is this normal?

Yes, it’s completely normal. Gochujang keeps aging slowly, so its color deepens over time. It’s safe to eat.

My tub arrived with a slight leak. Is this OK?

It can happen. 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.

Where is this made - South Korea?

All products on Gochujar are proudly made in South Korea, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
