I feel like this sauce gets criticized a lot for not being authentic or whatever, but it is my favorite of everything I've tried so far. Really good heat level too. It is rather sweet, so it's not perfect as a marinade.

What I like to do is get a gochujang paste and marinate boneless chicken in that with just a bit of the sauce to thin the paste. Stir fry the meat (peanut + vegetable oil), add some sauce towards the end. Remove, stir fry your choice of veggies (broccolini and julienned carrots in our home) in the same oil and a bit of sauce in the pan. (Plus garlic powder/salt/pepper to taste.) Serve over rice, optionally top with a fried egg, peanut oil, and toasted sesame seeds. And then drizzle on your bowl of bibimbap to taste.

(To take it up another notch, step it up to dolsot bibimbap. Get yourself a korean/japanese hot bowl, coat lightly with oil, put it in a cold oven, and heat to 425 F. Serve in that.)

17g of added sugar per 2T serving. Not good. Also, I find it a bit off-putting that they're advertising this sauce as "on-trend" as if that matters. Also, brown sugar is the 2nd ingredient after water. Yet they claim it's "better for you" (direct quote) because it's "vegan" and has "Chile peppers." I don't think so. Finally, when a sauce or any other food item has superfluous pics of graphics about it (like "on trend" and "better for you" BUT doesn't have a pic of the ingredients (only the front of the bottle), you know they're being purposefully coy about what's in it. This is literally sugar water.

People who accuse things of "not being authentic" are pedantic clowns. The only "authentic" version of gochujang is the stuff made by old Korean grandmas using all Korean, organic ingredients, left to ferment in traditional clay jars for months outside.

If you're lucky enough to have an Asian supermarket or hmart, they sell tubs of these for just a few bucks more.

It's mostly because it's already flavored and conveniently designed so that you can just throw it in by itself with any protein it will still taste pretty okay. Kind of like how every once in a while you still buy those frozen "prefab" dumplings in Asian supermarket or even Costco for a lazy meal, even if your grandparents thought you really well how to do real legit dumplings at home with one squeeze technique or whatever. Making dumplings from scratch, while delicious, requires more than minimum effort.

A lot of Asians use fairly processed ingredients for their cooking, like using one of those Lee Kim Kee sauce to flavor their food. I feel like people who criticize these stuff as "not authentic" are just upset this stuff isn't anything like what their parents used to make at home when they were little.
