Gochu-what?
Gochuchang is a Korean red hot pepper paste. It’s typically made from chile peppers, sticky rice, fermented soybeans, and salt (so no, it’s not gluten-free). Gochuchang is a thick pepper paste that’s used in a lot of dishes as a marinade, sauce, or seasoning. And you’re hearing it hear first – I’m calling it the new sriracha as far as trendy condiments and ingredients go. You’ll be seeing gochuchang pop up A LOT of menus this summer. You can thank me later for keeping you cool and in the know of food trends

Sweet & Spicy Thai Chili Deviled Eggs with Gochuchang
Ingredients
- 6 hardboiled eggs recommend pre-hardboiled eggs
- 2 TB olive oil mayo
- ¼ C Thai Chili Sauce
- ½ tsp gochujang sauce plus additional optional for garnish
Instructions
- Hardboil the eggs if not already done so (see notes). Slice in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a separate mixing bowl.
- In the bowl with the egg yolks, combine the mayo, thai chili sauce, and gochujang sauce. Use a fork to mash until desired consistency.
- Fill eggs immediately or place in the fridge to allow filling to set up to 1 hour.
- To fill the eggs, take a Ziploc bag and cut off a small corner (make sure the hole is big enough for the pepper & celery to fit through, otherwise it will clog the bag). Squeeze the bag to get the filling into the eggs. If you’re feeling fancy, use a pastry bag with a star nozzle.
