Last month my when my sister-in-law visited from South Korea, she brought a whole assortment of baggies and bottles with her. The most flavorful and intense Sesame oil I have ever tasted, hand pressed by neighbors. Kimchee made by her mother. And spices. Intense, flavorful, and amazing spices such as I had never seen or tasted before. But my favorite by far was Gochujang!

I also love gochujang! What a wonderful condiment - these tacos look awesome!
I recently tried gochujang in braised short ribs and am hooked! Love having another recipe that uses it! These look wonderful!
I'm obsessed with gochujang! Totally agree that it's the new sriracha! These tacos look so amazing. Definitely pinning!
These sound so good! A few years back, a new food truck launched in Los Angeles that did Korean style street tacos, and everyone in the city lost their dang mind over them. They had lines around the block! I never had patience to wait for them, but maybe now I'll get to see what the buzz was all about afterall 🙂
