Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When first tossed, the seasoning may seem sticky and not well absorbed, but over time the peppers release moisture, making it moist and allowing the flavors to deepen.
  • Summer kkwarigochu peppers are spicier, so for a crisp and sweet muchim, use tender spring kkwarigochu peppers for the best taste.
  • Leftover muchim can be used as a base seasoning or added ingredient when making dishes like dubu jjigae or braised fish such as galchi jorim, adding deep flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who find the process of steaming or cooking peppers before seasoning bothersome.
  • Those who want to instantly enjoy a crunchy texture and a sharp, spicy kick.
  • Those looking for a simple yet unique quick-pickle-style side dish to stimulate the appetite.
