J and I recently ran out of gochujang, a spicy fermented red pepper paste ubiquitous in Korean cooking. Since I’ve been trying more than usual to not buy things in plastic packaging, I was hesitant to buy a new container. (Although Wholly Jang<\/a> offers gochujang and other products in glass, the company is currently on hiatus as they move to a different facility.) Fortunately, I discovered that you can make your own at home with just a few ingredients!!<\/p>\n

The packaging is distinctly different from all of the other gochujang. It’s almost… hipster.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The pictures from actually making the gochujang aren’t accessible yet, so I’ll make another post with the recipe. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
