What is the best brand of gochujang paste?

Sort by date Sort by votes
The ingredient list in Mother In laws Gochujang Concentrated looks excellent but the reviews say its pretty sweet. The other ones are a SAUCE if im reading this correctly. Pretty expensive stuff too. Gochujang is not that hard to make if you want to give it a shot. Ingredient list is pretty straight forward but it takes time. https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/gochujang
 
If you like spicy gochujang. Haechandel Very Hot is good but im not as fond of their milder one anymore. Its ok but now i kinda like the milder ones from Sempio or Chung Jung One a little better. I pretty much need to keep 2 kinds on hand. One hotter/less sweet and one that isnt too sweet and medium heat. I use a little gochujang in my kimchi stew and the sweeter ones are too sweet.
 
Chung Jung One Suchang Gochujang (Premium) if you can find it. https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Gochujang-Korean-Ingredients-Chung-Jung-One/dp/B00ESK1IU4
Sempio (Premium) version also if you can find it. http://en.sempio.com/product/jangpaste/view/621
