Reply To: Nonspicy gochujang?

Years ago I bought some pepper powder that had virtually no heat to it all. I was mystified until my Korean friend told me it was probably old when I bought it.You could put a small amount out in a bowl and leave it open to the air for a week or two, stirring it each day, and see if it loses some of it’s heat and/or flavor. If it loses heat but not flavor, it might just work. Just a thought…..
