my recommended brand :) I think Korean brands taste the best!
OTTOGI Sesame Oil
a MUST if you want to make any spicy Korean food. It's not very spicy itself, but a staple for cooking!
Gochujang Hot Pepper Paste
buying a big container of soy sauce is worth because you use it for everything ! low sodium is also better for your overall health
Less Sodium Soy Sauce
another spicy staple. you can add it to any food you want! great for dipping sauces as well
Gochugaru Red Pepper Powder
Korean soybean paste (similar to miso) that's very flavorful. it's used in a lot of stews!
Doenjang Original Soybean Paste
top ANYTHING with this and it will be perfectly finished! adds a subtle nutty flavor on top of the flavors of the food itself
