Doenjang
A Korean essential, this pungent fermented soybean paste is similar to a strong miso paste, but darker, coarser and stronger in flavour.
Gochugaru
Chilli powder or flakes made from Korean chillies, which have their own unique flavour. This condiment will become your chilli of choice to sprinkle on anything that needs
some heat.
Mirin
Known as mirin in Japan, this sweet cooking wine has a small alcohol content and is used to give food a hint of sweetness.
