Kim Dae-seok's Chili Syrup

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.
