The present invention relates to a method for preparing hot pepper paste (gochujang in Korean) by using a novel strain, and hot pepper paste prepared therefrom. More specifically, the hot pepper paste having a consistent quality and improved flavor and taste can be prepared by isolating and selecting Aspergillus oryzae having remarkable carbohydrate and protein degradation enzymatic activities from traditional meju (fermented soybeans) by using wheat flour or polished wheat as a substrate, and using the isolated and selected product for preparing the hot pepper paste.
