Can replace gochujang with some other ingredient ? If not where to buy them?
no, gochujang is not replaceable. you can get it from Korean supermarkets in SG, or local supermarkets (NTUC, CS). Check out this post for omre information https://noobcook.com/korean-ingredients/
May I know what aged Kimchi you use? Where can I buy from? Can show the picture?
Currently using the CJ brand. It’s available at NTUC (fridge).
Can I use chicken instead of pork?
Yes, you can use chicken breast or fillet cubes.
Is gojuchang sauce the same as gojuchang paste? Can I substitute with the sauce if I don’t have the paste?
Yes they should be the same item, as long as there is the word “gochujang”.
