    Does the pepper paste, black bean paste, and soy paste ever expire in the fridge?

      I don’t have an official answer, but I’ve had both hot pepper paste and soy bean paste in my fridge for almost a year now, and they’re just fine!

    Is it possible to just use the Korean chilli powder instead of Chilli paste in some of your dishes? Would it still taste as good?

    Hi! Is it possible for you to post up the translated list of ingredients in the Gochujang? I found it & wanted to buy it at the local korean grocery mart but the ingredient list was in korean. Was wondering if gochujang contains alchohol or any ingredients of animal origin?

    Hi Maangchi,
    I just found a tub of gochujang which I bought a few months ago, but it has expired (dec 2009). My question is, is it still ok to use it especially since it hasn’t been opened yet? Thanks!

    Hi Maangchi,
    I wanted to make the kimchi soup, so I went to the supermarket to buy the Red Pepper Paste. However. I found there are two types of paste, one is with the vinegar and one is without. Which type shall I buy? What can I make if I buy the vinegar red pepper paste? In the end I didn’y buy any cause I have some doubts about it. Kindly advise me. Thank you.

    Maangchi,

    I wanted to see if you know how to make gochujang from scratch? I would like to make it myself rather than having to buy it. My Imo always made her own and it was even better than store bought gochujang. She actually made a lot of her ingredients from scratch. She came from old country and grew up on a farm with no power. I have learned something things from her but since she is gone I am learning more from you. :-)I need to actually buy your books too.

    Thank you very much,
    진심으로 감사합니다

    I live in The Netherlands and it’s very hard to find hot pepper paste. Is there a substitute for it? I want to make dduk bok gee, but can I use a different kind of paste? For example, is it okay if I use cayenne pepper paste instead of gochujang?
