Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Since you're using fresh, unsalted cabbage, rub the gochugaru in with your hands as you mix so the seasoning adheres well and doesn't sit on the surface.
  • Adding a little starch syrup gives a glossy finish and makes the red color of the gochugaru more vivid.
  • It pairs wonderfully with ramyun, miyeokguk, kalguksu, or gukbap.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make crisp geotjeori on the spot without the hassle of salting kimchi.
  • Those looking for a sweet-spicy side dish to accompany gukbap, kalguksu, or miyeokguk.
