About These Gochujang Feta Pastries
Gochujang is having a moment. Its sweetness, tanginess, and spiciness is captivating everyones tastebuds. It's one of Korea's most well-known ingredients and works gorgeously well with feta and spinach, in a filo parcel.

Gochujang Feta Pastries
Ingredients Â
For The Gochujang Sauce
- 1 tablespoon gochujang
- 1 tbsp gochugaru flakes
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 garlic clove, minced
For The Rest of The Dish
- 200g spinach, wilted down and finely chopped
- 200g feta cheese, crumbled
- 50g cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoon butter, melted
- 4 filo pastry sheets
- Sesame seeds for garnish
InstructionsÂ
- In a small bowl, combine all of your gochujang sauce ingredients until silky and smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine your chopped and wilted spinach, crumbled feta, grated cheddar cheese, and your gochujang sauce.
- Get a filo pastry sheet and lay it on a clean surface with the shortest side nearest to you. Brush one half of the sheet with your melted butter, then fold it in half to create a long rectangle (see my Instagram video if you're lost here). Brush the tip of the pastry with more butter.
- Place a quarter of your gochujang feta mixture at the bottom right-hand corner of your pastry. Then, gently fold in a triangular motion all the way to the top of your pastry. Seal and set aside. Repeat this step for all 4 pastries.
- Brush the top of your pastries with more butter and then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place in the air fryer for 20 minutes at 160C. Or, place them in a preheated oven at 180/160C fan for around 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and enjoy!
