Hi Aeri,
Do you know of any gochujang paste that does not have alcohol in them.
hi Tehzeeb,
I think it’s not they put alcohol in it to make gochujang (If I’m know about what I know), it’s the fermenting process…. You can check the ingredients from the container of the gochujang you can find in a store..
Hi Aeri, i realised my unopened (aluminium foil still attached) gochujang already expired. I have yet to throw it away and have kept it in the fridge. Is it advisable to throw it away or it can be open and consume? 🙂
hi Serena,
If the date is not too far off, you can still use it. thanks
Can you teach how to make gochujang paste ? For the “halal” recipe . (muslim)
hi hana,
I will add it to my list. By then.. how about try Maangchi’s recipe. She already posted homemade gochujang recipe. Here is a link for you. http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/gochujang
Hello I’m a big fan of korean food but as a muslim alcohol is not allowed to be consumed. I heard that the korean red pepper or chili paste has alochol in it. I wanted to know if its used as a carrier or flavoring or if its more than that. I would really like to know x
hi hibah,
Actually.. I think most of the brand I know.. they didn’t use alcohol for it.. so please check the ingredient .. you will find some without alcohol.. Thanks
Hi Aeri,
most of korean brand gochujang I found has 주정 in their ingredients. I some articles about 주정 and it said that 주정 means the product has more than 0,5% alcohol included in the process. So, the alcohol isn’t from fermentation process. Would you please tell me about 주정 ? or please tell us which brand doesn’t contain any alcohol or pork…
Thank you in advance ^^
