La utilizzo su tutto: minestre,zuppe,sughi, una piccola quantità è sufficiente per dare un gusto in più e il giusto grado di piccantezza.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Once it is opened, how long will this last? Do we need to use it within 7 days after opening?**
A: It does not need to be used within 7 days. Mine lasts over a month or more.

**Q: Does it contain MSG ?**
A: No. This brand does not contain MSG. There are brands that have MSG but this one does not. I am extremely sensitive to MSG and I would know it if it contained any.

**Q: what are ingredients?**
A: Like soybean paste (Doenjang), gochujang is made through a fermentation process. Its primary ingredients are red chili pepper flakes, rice powder, sweet rice powder, and powdered fermented soybeans and salt. It can be gluten free but not all brands are truly gluten free. So, double check with the manufacturer or retailer.

**Q: Peanuts in the ingredients?**
A: I looked at the ingredients list and the is soy and wheat but peanuts were not listed.

*by A***R on May 21, 2025*

Second time of buying this, the whole family really enjoy the flavour. Have used it mainly for cooking pulled pork and for marinading chicken which I then use in stir fries. Mixed with honey it really brings a zing to roast vegetables too. Next on the agenda is to try it in a pasta sauce. It is a very thick paste but is easy to thin with either water, honey or soy sauce and has a delicious sweet, spicy and very moorish flavour. Once opened it keeps in the fridge very well. A very versatile product that has so many uses and I am so glad I tried it. Wouldn't be without now. Quick delivery and a good price. Highly recommend.
