This product is a dedicated marinade sauce for making Dwaeji-bulgogi, one of Korea's most popular pork dishes. It combines Gochujang (fermented red pepper paste), soy sauce, garlic, pear puree, and apple puree to deliver a flavour that is both sweet and spicy. To use: coat thinly sliced pork (shoulder or front leg recommended) thoroughly with the marinade, leave to rest for at least 10–30 minutes, then cook on a hot pan or grill. As the sauce itself is quite salty, always use it diluted with meat — do not consume the sauce on its own.

In accordance with EU food labelling regulations (EU No 1169/2011), please note the following allergen information. This product contains gluten (including wheat) and soybeans. The wheat content originates from wheat flour in the Gochujang and wheat in the soy sauce; soybeans are present in the soy sauce and defatted soybean ingredients. The manufacturer also advises that traces of peanuts, fish, crustaceans, and molluscs may be present due to cross-contamination. If you have an allergy to any of these ingredients, please exercise caution.

This product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. It contains ingredients of animal origin, and the flavour enhancers E627 (disodium guanylate) and E631 (disodium inosinate) are commonly derived from animal or fish sources, meaning suitability for vegetarian diets cannot be guaranteed. Additionally, this product contains cooking rice wine (alcohol) and has not received halal certification. It is not suitable for those following a halal diet.

Yes, this product has a very high sodium content per 100g (exceeding the EU threshold for 'high salt' classification). This is because it is a concentrated marinade sauce built on fermented and seasoned ingredients such as Gochujang, soy sauce, and salt. Much like Worcestershire sauce or fish sauce in European cooking, this product is not intended to be eaten on its own — it is designed to be diluted, with approximately 80–100g of sauce used per 500g of meat. As a result, the actual sodium intake per serving is significantly lower than the per-100g figure on the label. If you are sensitive to sodium, please adjust the amount of marinade used accordingly.

This marinade contains Gochujang and soy sauce as key ingredients — both produced using traditional Korean fermentation methods. Just as European cheese or wine develops complex flavour through fermentation and ageing, Gochujang and soy sauce acquire their rich, layered umami through the fermentation process. However, this product itself is a finished marinade sauce and is not a fermented food product in its own right, nor does it make any probiotic claims. The natural umami and depth of flavour contributed by these fermented ingredients are the defining characteristics of this marinade.
