And to prepare the gochujang, all you need to do is mix all the ingredients in the kit along with 300 ml of water, let it sit for one night, and it will become ready for consumption. There is no need to set aside extra time for fermentation in the way traditional gochujang would be prepared, making the preparation process simple and short.
