Fromwell Stir-Fried Mushroom Gochujang
Even basic gochujang, the Korean hot pepper paste that has a savoriness similar to Japanese miso, is a real powerhouse ingredient that we consider an essential element of the Milk Street pantry. But this version from Fromwell builds on gochujang’s typical complexity, adding earthy stir-fried shiitake mushrooms locally harvested in the Korean forest. The result is perfectly balanced, funky, rich and earthy with a light sweetness, punch of spice and appropriate hit of salt. And unlike other gochujangs which are smooth, the addition of mushrooms provides an interesting level of texture and nuance that we loved. Fromwell’s gochujang is also lower in sodium than other brands and contains no added sugar. Use as a base to stews and sauces for an extra boost of savory flavor, in place of regular gochujang in any recipe that calls for it or add right to vegetables or meat like a marinade.
