If you have a look at my blog carefully, you will know how often I use gochujang (a type of hot chilli sauce). We use it as often as salt for cooking.
This is a picture of the Gochujang that I am using currently.
It was about 14,900 won (US $15.70) for 3kg. It usually lasts for about 3-4 months, even though I use it a lot.
Tips : If you need some food containers (Tupperware style) just go to the big super market and buy a big gochujang (2-3 kg). Because they give containers free of charge as a promotion thing when you buy a large gochujang. It is nearly all year around.

Hi, I just wanted to say that I like the way you present your recipes. Pictures always are a big help to me and yours are beautifully done. I’ve marked your website in my favorites and hope to try some of them before too long.
Where can I buy this Gochujang Sauce in Maui, Hawaii? I would like to make spicy calamari with it.
I really love Korean food but I am kinda confused about Gochujang sauce. I saw a lot of these Gochujang in the market and in Google, sounds like famous and familiar Gochujang. But in the market, they also have Gochujang Bibimbap (Which is also really good for me, feel like it s thinner than this Gochujang) and Gochujang Tteokbokki (Which is really thin).
So, what is the different between them?
Is that your Gochujang is the original and if you want to make Bibimbap or Tteokbokki, you have to mix it with other flavor? Which mean, the Gochujang Bibimbap and Gochujang Tteokbokki I mentioned have already done that for us?
Thank you!
BTW, your blog is great!

The gochujang I used in this website is a multi purpose type. So like you said, to make bibimbap or Ddeokboki, I normally have to add other seasonings and ingredients.
Therefore, I believe Gochujang Bibimbap and Gochujang Tteokbokki you mentioned is already seasoned (mix of gochujang and other ingredients) for those dishes.
Thank you
Parks Brand Ko Choo Jang (what the label says) Korean Style Hot Sauce is available as of May 2009 at the Big Save supermarket in Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii USA. Nine ounce jar, made in Honolulu. I brought a jar back to the mainland with me. A friend had given me some gochujang to try — and now it’s a favorite “secret ingredient” in many things I cook.
