# Gochujang Mac and Cheese | Made In - Made In

Courtesy of Made In’s own Culinary Director Rhoda Boone, this recipe adds a kick of Gochujang, Korean hot pepper paste, to a comfort food staple.

Gochujang is an essential and beloved condiment in Korean cooking. Made from red chile pepper flakes, fermented soybeans, glutinous rice, and salt, this spicy-sweet paste is a key ingredient in traditional Korean dishes like bibimbap, bulgogi, and tteokbokki.

We love its fiery kick and umami boost so much, we added it to a comfort food classic: mac and cheese. Either our 3 QT Saucier or [3.5 QT Non Stick Saute Pan](/products/non-stick-saute-pan/3-5-quart) is perfect for creating this dish’s signature smooth, creamy, cheesy sauce, the former because its curved bottom makes whisking and stirring sauces a breeze, and the latter for easy stirring and even easier cleanup. 

_Chef's note: Different brands of gochujang can vary from mild to hot, so whisk a little into your sauce to start, then add a touch more if you can take the heat._
