FAQ
- Does warming Gochujang paste before measuring help?
- Slightly — warmer Gochujang paste flows into corners and fills air gaps, reducing measurement error. Avoid heating past the recipe's temperature guidance.
- Can I substitute Gochujang paste with a thinner spread 1:1 by weight?
- The gram count works but rheology differs — a thinner spread flows into gaps you scraped flat, so downstream mixing or layering may behave differently.
