Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never remove the stem before washing—water can seep inside the pepper and let moisture enter the peppers. Always wash and dry first, then remove the stem.
  • Adding sea salt creates osmotic pressure, drawing out moisture from the peppers, resulting in a firmer, more resilient texture and effectively preventing spoilage.
  • Finished chili syrup makes an excellent natural seasoning for dishes like anchovy stir-fry, jeyuk bokkeum, bulgogi, and any recipe needing both sweetness and spiciness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to instantly add deep umami, spicy-sweet flavor to various stir-fries and braised dishes.
  • Those looking to stock up on a natural seasoning base that lasts year-round without spoiling.
