So did you see Trader Joe’s now carries gochujang, the red pepper paste that’s core to many Korean recipes? I give them credit for moving beyond the Korean frozen\/convenience foods they’ve had so far. The 250g container suggests it’s aimed for people who haven’t cooked with it before. So I thought I’d share some of my favorite ways to use it. Once you’ve had it, you’re gonna want a bigger container! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deuki Hong’s Kimchi Fried Rice<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Deuki Hong’s Kimchi Fried Rice is my go-to version. It calls for making a gochujang butter, which I did the first time I made it, but now I just mix in a tablespoon of gochuchang after I add the rice. This recipe is also included in his cookbook, KOREATOWN<\/a>. The kimchi jjigae from the book is great, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eric Kim’s Dakdoritang (Chicken and Potato Stew)<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You might know Eric Kim as a food writer and columist at the New York Times. He’s also the author of the recently released cookbook KOREAN AMERICAN<\/a>, where this recipe for Dakdoritang (Chicken and Potato Stew) comes from. And if stew makes you think of winter, it’s true this is great when it’s cold, but I wouldn’t rule it out for the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korean-Inspired Coca Cola Braised Pork<\/a> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is an oldie but goodie from my own recipe collection. Gochujang turns it into Korean-inspired version of a slow cooker classic, Coca Cola Braised Pork. Great over rice, but you could also put it on a hamburger bun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korean Bapsang’s Spicy Pork Bulgogi<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Originally inspired to make this after seeing Roy Choi’s Spicy BBQ Pork on The Chef Show (Netflix)<\/a>, I needed Hyosun’s help on the amounts for the marinade. Get the super thinly sliced pork at your local Asian market or ask your butcher to slice it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk Street’s Buldak (Fire Chicken)<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Milk Street’s COOKISH cookbook<\/a> offers up a paired back version of buldak, or fire chicken, which is very often topped with mozzarella cheese. I’m not much for cheese on chicken, so I made just the chicken and rice cakes themselves. Maangchi’s version<\/a> includes the cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BONUS: Gochujang-Glazed Zucchini with Fried Scallions<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Update 7\/26: After I posted this, I realized I hadn’t included any vegetarian options! So here’s the Gochujang-Glazed Zucchini from Korean American by Eric Kim. It’s a super simple side dish and a great way to use up some summer zucchini. Salt the zucchini for a bit, then make a little scallion oil (it’s easy), cook up your zucchini and add the sauce. Done and done!<\/p>
