Description:
Gochujang King Hot Korean Peppers are a popular variety out of Korea used to make their traditional chili paste called gochujang. These long, slender peppers are very similar to jalapenos but with more spice and pungency that will fire up your taste buds!
These pepper plants will grow up to 3 ft. tall and produce good yields of these 6” long pendant-shaped pods. Gochujang King Korean peppers will take some time to ripen from green to a bright red and don a smooth and shiny flesh.
These peppers are best used for making homemade sauce and chili pastes like gochujang. You can also dry and grind these peppers into a chili powder called gochugaru used in many Korean cuisines. Or, you can cook Gochujang King peppers in stir-fries or roasts for added heat!
