Low-Sodium Gochujang
Low-Sodium Gochujang is a savory, sticky Korean chili paste made from fermented red pepper, glutinous rice, soy, and often sweeteners; it's widely used as a condiment, marinade base, or seasoning in Korean cuisine. It delivers the characteristic spicy‑sweet umami that defines dishes like bibimbap, tteokbokki and many marinades. Nutritionally, this is a condiment that is relatively high in carbohydrates and sugars and still contains a noticeable amount of salt at 2.5g per 100g, so it's best used in small amounts; it also contributes modest protein and fiber and provides some vitamin A and vitamin K from the red pepper component. Because it's a fermented chili‑soy blend, it brings concentrated flavor and a good amino acid balance from its soy content, but should be used sparingly for salt and sugar control in the diet.
