Few Korean households would be without some spicy dipping sauce at the ready, particularly chogochujang, which is sometimes shortened to chojang. This particular spicy-sweet chili pepper dipping sauce is made with gochujang, a traditional Korean chili red pepper paste.

The sauce is primarily used for mixed rice dishes, such as Bibimbap and hwe dup bap.

It adds a significant spice factor to a dish but also gives off a hint of sweetness.
