by Olive the Best | Mar 24, 2025 |
There are many ways to use our Gochujang olive oil with its spicy-umami “flavour-fest” combining the rich, savoury, fermented flavours inherent in the epic Korean condiment for which its named. Many use it for eggs dishes, stews, soups, pasta, marinades, dressings and making a very unique mayonnaise but this recipe for Kimchi is really an ideal way to use Gochujang olive oil.
