Why cooks start here

Cho Gochujang is cooked the way raw fish tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a korean family cook actually puts it on the table.

Cho Gochujang is a creation from the lively world of Korean raw fish tables, where it's crafted with an intuitive touch. Traditionally, salt is judged by hand and fat is used generously, bringing out the best in each ingredient. This version captures the essence of a Korean family kitchen, a lovingly preserved recipe that brings the warmth and authenticity of home to the table. The dish offers a harmonious balance of heat and tang, with gochujang lending its fiery presence, tempered by a splash of vinegar and a hint of sugar. The sesame notes weave through, adding a toasted depth that complements the vibrant flavors. It's designed for sharing, inviting everyone to experience its bold and comforting character together.
