At Gourmet Grocer, we love products that bring something a little different to the table. The kind of jar, bottle or sauce that can turn a simple meal into something exciting with just one spoonful.
Chimac Korean Hot Sauce does exactly that.
Inspired by Korea and made in Dublin, Chimac is known for bold, punchy sauces that are big on flavour without being complicated to use. Their Korean Hot Sauce is made with gochujang, vinegar, spices and plenty of personality, creating a sauce that is tangy, slightly funky and full of gentle heat.
Inspired by Korea, Made in Dublin
Chimac began as a Korean-inspired food brand in Dublin, bringing together the fun, flavour and energy of Korean street food with an Irish sense of creativity.
The name itself comes from a much-loved Korean food pairing: “chi” for chicken and “maek” for beer. It is the kind of flavour-first thinking that runs through everything Chimac does — food that is social, satisfying, a little fiery and made to be enjoyed.
Their sauces take that same energy and bottle it, making it easy to bring bold Korean-inspired flavour into your own kitchen.
The Not-Too-Hot Hot Sauce
Chimac Korean Hot Sauce is designed for flavour first, heat second. It has just enough warmth to wake up your food, but not so much that it overpowers everything else.
The key ingredient is gochujang, Korea’s famous fermented chilli paste. Gochujang gives the sauce its deep savoury flavour, gentle heat and unmistakable tang. Mixed with vinegar, soy, garlic and spices, the result is a sauce that feels rich, bright and properly moreish.
It is hot sauce, but not the kind that dares you to survive it. This is the kind you actually want to keep reaching for.
How to Use Chimac Korean Hot Sauce
One of the best things about Chimac Korean Hot Sauce is how versatile it is.
Use it as a marinade for chicken, pork, tofu or vegetables. Drizzle it over rice bowls, noodles or fried eggs. Add it to burgers, wraps, sandwiches or loaded fries. Stir it through mayonnaise for a quick dip, brush it onto barbecue food, or serve it on the side of crispy chicken wings.
It is especially good when you want to add a little sweet, savoury, spicy depth without having to make a sauce from scratch.
A bottle in the fridge is basically a shortcut to better dinners.
