Chogochujang (Korean Spicy Vinegar Sauce, 초고추장)
Korea has so many different sauces, just like in Germany where there are a variety of sauces to enjoy with fries besides mayonnaise. One of the most popular sauces in Korea is chogochujang, a sauce made with a base of gochujang (Korean red chili paste) and vinegar.
This sauce pairs perfectly with blanched broccoli, dashima (kombu seaweed), boiled squid, and various types of jeon (Korean pancakes). Many regions in Korea enjoy dipping these foods into chogochujang.
If you like a sweet and spicy flavor, you should definitely try making this sauce. It’s even delicious when mixed with rice!
