bibigo - Gochujang Sauce, Hot and Sweet Flavor, Perfectly Blended Flavors, Pantry and Party Must-Have, 11.5-oz

This is a really nice sweet hot sauce with a lot of flavor. I have been using it on a lot of different stuff since getting it and really love it. It works well on most sandwiches, on your morning eggs, as a burger topping and on steaks. Since it is a sweet sauce you need to be a bit more careful not to burn it so if you are cooking in a really hot pan you might want to put it in near the end. For a burger I usually cook one side, flip it and put the sauce on top while the other side cooks, then lay a nice slice of cheese on top. Makes for a really different tasting burger! By the way, when I say sweet I'm not talking super sweet. I would say this is less sweet than most BBQ sauces but a bit more sweet than ketchup.

I love this stuff and use it in quite a number of recipes. It pretty much gives you exactly what it describes - it’s a good mix of both spicy and sweet that’ll taste good in most Asian-style dishes.

Great for chicken! Nice spice level. Love this for everything needing a great spice level.

*Update* So I’ve been using this sauce for a few years now. It’s always stocked alongside Tabasco, Tapatio, Sriracha, and Truff. These 5 of my favorite hot sauces all have their own delicious uses. Such as Gochujang sauce as a dip for some fries and chicken nuggets and it’s so good! McD’s should add it to their dipping sauce collection for us who crave hot taste! Love it! Just had it last night and thought I’d share. —— Gochujang sauce!! I love gochujang to begin with and a bunch of dishes that are made with gochujang. So gochujang sauce is definitely worth a shot. I see gochujang-related stuff quite often these days. So I tried it. First on steak. Awesome! It's got that hot kick to it. It's a great addition (or alternative) to A1, barbecue, and chimichurri. As some others have noted, it's a little on the sweet side, which I like and don't like depending my mood. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I think it's too sweet. I guess I prefer different types of flavors on different days. ha ha. Which is also the reason why I'm saying "in addition" to all other sauces for steak. I feel like A1 sometimes and I prefer chimichurri some other times. So for steaks, it's definitely a great addition to my sauce selections. Secondly on chicken. For chicken, I first tried glazing it on while cooking. Mmm.. that was good. Decent amount of hotness and sweetness. Just be careful not to burn it as it's got good amount of sweetness that could burn similar to barbecue sauces. The result is savory for sure similar to barbecue glaze but different. As for dipping, it's a savior. it will save any "failed" chicken. Ha ha! Such as chicken breast that cooked too dry, or chicken that didn't turn out too good... just dip it in here and it will make it yummy! So it's become my go-to sauce for all chickens that are desperate for some good flavor. It's a chicken's savior! When I tried to make ginger teriyaki chicken and it turned out a little dry and the taste wasn't exactly what I intended, I still got to enjoy it dipping in this sauce.

I'm usually downing giant bottles of Huy Fong Sriracha and have a fridge full of assorted hot sauces... There's like 20 different ones in there and I've tried a lot of weird ones and scary ones too... But I figured I'd give the B!b🥄go a shot... And it's delicious! I'm kind of immune to heat and spice... But not totally and the heat is nice and so is the sweet too... I recently tried Kikkoman Sriracha and I like it sort of and in my opinion that's a 3 as far as flavor... Huy Fong is just always a 5 in my opinion just as a comparison... I've also tried Texas Pete and a few other ones. But literally I wish I knew the Bibigo existed before because a lot of stores don't carry it by me. (I actually looked up who does now!) While it says Walmart as well... I've never seen it there, Target maybe? I'm not sure it will compete with Huy Fong as No#1 but it just may? Haha... Time will tell... I actually just squirt that in my mouth like candy 😂 Occasionally I find something I can't take as well and while it's fun... Bibigo is not that it's just a little fun heat and nice tasting... Something I would just keep squirting on crackers and eating or sandwiches... Hot dogs... Noodles... And so on. So just saying... I'm damn impressed.

Great Product

I've become a big fan of gochujang since first experiencing it at Spoon restaurant in Berkeley. I used to leave near that restaurant, and would go to there in large party because the gochujang was so good (although the mung bean pancakes and dolsot bibimbap are also both 10/10). Their gochujang was hot like sriracha sauce, but with a second and equally-present flavor channel of fermentation, a slightly sour, beer-like flavor. If Spoon would only sell that stuff at retail, I am sure that they would dominate the gochujang market. Sadly, I have difficulty even getting them to give me a little to-go cup of it. Since then, I have ordered at least three different kinds of gochujang on Amazon. The first, best, and most expensive was Wholly Gochujang. It's not quite as good as Spoon's but definitely in the same ballpark. Same texture, sour/fermented flavor was pretty strong. The second best was Chun Jung One, which has a still-weaker fermented flavor, but still good, and adequate texture, or half the price of Wholly Gochujang. This bibigo gochujang is sufficiently different that it seems like it shouldn't have the same word as the Spoon sauce. It is, I suppose, a decent sauce. But it's very different, and kind of ordinary in comparison. Number one, it is sweeter. It tasted almost like a sweet-sour sauce that's been mixed with hot sauce. It is also a thinner, to the point of being runny if it is not in a refrigerator. The tangy fermented flavor is mostly absent. I do like the packaging, since I would prefer to just escort gochujang on my tacos or whatever rather than using a spoon (the other two kinds above both come in tubs/jars). But it's not worth sacrificing the flavor. I will finish this sauce, it's not awful, but I think I'm going to go back to spending money on Wholly Gochujang.

I used to be able to find and buy this at my local Walmart but I am pretty sure they stopped carrying it as I have not seen in there in close to a year. Anyways, I love this Gochujang hot sauce. It's my GO TO to spice up any dish. The reason I love it so much is because it's slightly sweet and not really THAT spicy. Definitely still a kick there and I am very sensitive to spicy foods and cannot stand a lot of hot sauces but this one is literally perfect. It's spicy without being too spicy. So for all the people that want to add some kick to their food, but are afraid of it being too spicy, this would be what I would recommend. It's just the perfect combo of sweet and spicy. And the spicy seems to fade/go away the more you use this product and your tongue/mouth gets more accustomed to it. It's a great beginner's hot sauce. I use it for fried dumplings, kimchi fried rice, or any dish that I think could use some heat. I have repurchased and will continue to! Love, love, love it! I also love how it's squeezable instead of some gochujang sauces that you have to scoop out!
