To make it, you must ferment soybeans, glutinous rice powder, chili peppers, and a few other ingredients until it becomes something more significant than the sum of its parts. There are many variations, but the result is always similar: a sweet and savory, but predominantly spicy red paste that enhances every food it touches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nthing is, authentic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alienrecipes.com\/is-gochujang-gluten-free-here-is-everything-you-need-to-know-about-gochujang\/\">gochujang has always been gluten-free<\/a>. The problem came\nwith industrialization when the savory paste became more than an artisanal\npreparation and became a commercial product. Producers started adding wheat or\nbarley flour to the recipe to make it more affordable, but in the process, it\nlost some of its authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s\ntime to honor the old ways and to bring back gochujang to where it belongs:\namongst the best seasoning sauces on earth. The time to return to the original\nway has come, so we\u2019ll tell you not only where to buy authentic gochujang, but\nwe\u2019ll teach you how to make it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-to-buy-gluten-free-gochujang\"><strong>Where\nto Buy Gluten-Free Gochujang<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully,\nthere are a few respected producers of authentic gochujang out there.
