This fermented chili paste is ready to use straight from the container. You can add it directly to stir-fries, mix it into marinades, or blend it with other ingredients to create sauces. Start with 1-2 tablespoons and adjust to taste, as it has a moderate spice level with deep umami flavor.

This versatile paste works perfectly in bibimbap sauce, spicy pork bulgogi, Korean stews like kimchi jjigae, and as a base for ssamjang dipping sauce. Many home cooking enthusiasts at Korean grocery France also use it in fusion dishes like spicy pasta or glazed chicken wings.

This paste complements grilled meats, steamed rice, fresh vegetables, and noodle dishes beautifully. It's particularly popular at Asian market Lyon for pairing with Korean BBQ, mixed into soup broths, or served alongside lettuce wraps and pickled vegetables.

Once opened, store this paste in the refrigerator in an airtight container where it will maintain quality for several months. The 14kg size is ideal for restaurants and large families who use Korean food regularly, as the paste develops richer flavors over time when properly stored.
