What to do with Gochujang paste?

Alternatively, you can simply add Gochujang to any Korean recipe that does not contain Gochujang. For example, adding a tablespoon or two of Gochujang paste to this Chicken Bulgogi or Ground Beeg Bulgogi will bring more flavour to your dish.

Remember than Gochujang is not that spicy, especially when mixed with a whole lot of other ingredients, so you shouldn't really worry about this.
