• Depth from traditional fermentation rather than just fresh chiles
• Sweet-salty balance from rice and rice syrup
• Versatile across Korean classics and fusion recipes

How should I store and use the 1kg tub to keep it fresh?

Keep the container refrigerated after opening to preserve taste and texture; the cool environment slows further fermentation and flavor changes. Use a clean utensil each time to avoid contamination. The 1kg size is practical for regular home cooks, shared kitchens, or small restaurants.

• Refrigerate after opening to maintain flavor stability
• Use clean spoons to prevent cross-contamination
• Seal lid tightly to limit air exposure
• Large 1kg tub reduces the need for frequent repurchasing
