This Man's Cook Gochujjim

Cooking tips 💡

• Trimming and shaping the ends of the peppers ensures even cooking and prevents burning, resulting in uniformly sized, attractive gochujjim.
• Avoid overfilling the peppers, as this prolongs cooking time and increases the risk of the filling separating from the pepper skin; keep the filling flat and moderate.
• The pepper side should not be cooked too long, as prolonged heat causes discoloration and a soggy texture—focus on fully cooking the meat side first, then briefly warming the pepper side.
• Using a higher proportion of egg yolks in the egg wash results in a richer, more golden, and visually appealing gochujjim.
