🌶️ Each month brings us closer to the ABQ Fermentation & Fungi Festival! This month, our Community Meetup Series features a truly unique fermented product: New Mexico ChileJang: fermented red chile paste. Owner Kyle was inspired after a trip to Korea by the flavor and variety of the gochujang (chili paste) condiments crafted there. He has now created a fermented product that is a blend of cultures and can be used to flavor a wide variety of dishes!

🫙 For the ABQ FFF Community Meetup, Kyle will be offering a cooking demo highlighting three ways to use NM ChileJang . And you get to taste it all as well.

1. Roasted Fruit Vinaigrette
2. Spicy Marinara Sauce
3. Quick Cheater's Kimchi

🥣 Kyle will also give participants a short tour of the Barelas Community Kitchen by Street Food Institute . This space is a shared commissary kitchen housing many creative local food entrepreneurs. We recommend participants bring a hat or hair coverings and wear closed-toe shoes, as both are required to enter the kitchen. There will also be chilejang for purchase.
