Sempio Korean Gochujang with Lemon (8.81 oz, Pack of 1)- Gluten Free, Vegan, Non-GMO Chili Paste, All Purpose

Product Information

Gochujang is a sweet, savory and sometimes spicy chili paste.

Confusingly, glutinous rice does not contain gluten, and is safe for someone with celiac disease. I love to enjoy classic Korean food with easy, healthy swaps, and this recipe is exactly that.
