Notes

Gochujang often contains wheat. Chung Jung One’s is made with rice flour—which would make it wheat-free—and the allergen list only mentions soy; however, one of the last ingredients is seed malt, an umbrella term that could include barley. If you need to be extra careful, try their other gochujang that’s labeled gluten-free, with seed malt (rice) still listed as an ingredient).

Substitute: Use 1/2 tbsp GF miso paste, 1/2 tbsp sambal oelek, and 1 tsp maple syrup per tbsp of gochujang
