Is there a way to make nonspicy gochujang? If I just skip the hot pepper powder, I’m afraid the texture will be different. Is there a nonspicy powder I can use instead? Thank you!

I don’t think so, unfortunately. The finely ground pepper powder is what thickens it into an actual paste. It would be extremely watery without the powder. Sorry :(

Mild organic paprika would have almost no heat or additives. Wont be cheap though. Around $15 or more a pound of powder and its not going to taste like 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…..

Thanks for your help guys! I actually don’t mind the spiciness but unfortunately those spices give me migraines and I’m trying to find an alternative.
