red pepper paste
Fiery Korean staple
Red pepper paste is a condiment made from ground red peppers, often with added salt, oil, or spices.
Different cuisines have their own versions: Korean gochujang ferments the peppers with rice and soybeans, while Turkish biber salçası roasts and concentrates them.
The paste adds heat, color, and depth to marinades, stews, and sauces: Stir a spoonful of red pepper paste into the broth.
