Using five simple ingredients, Chef Jet Tila whisked together a Korean gochujang sauce. He said that although Sriracha has been popular the past few years, gochujang is the next hot, new cool wave in chili sauces.
“When you think about Asian food, it’s really about building five flavors hot, sour, salty, sweet and savory,” said Chef Jet in the news clip. “This sauce hits all of them.”
During the news clip Chef Jet Tila also shared information about our Schwan’s Chef Collective, telling KARE 11 about the group of dedicated chefs from across the country who collaborate as they scout emerging ingredients, cooking methods and global cuisines to continually influence the innovation of Schwan foods.
Celebrity Chef Jet Tila joined our Schwan’s Chef Collective this year. He is best known for being a Food Network personality, Cutthroat Kitchen judge and owner of StirMarket and PakPao Thai restaurants, Chef Jet Tila.
