    I'm betting that's a healthier option than most of the alternatives.

    I am not a fan of Go-Chu Jang---it has too much of a sweet taste for me. I also don't recall seeing it when I was in Korea-----60 years ago

    They made their own pepper sauce from dried and then ground to a powder cayenne peppers. For use they would reconstitute it (with water) to a consistency similar to Go-Chu Jang. That was my introduction to the world of hot peppers and while today I regard cayenne as moderately hot, in those days they blew my head off

    They used a lot of cayenne in making kimchi (the source of the red color) and they also would have a small bowl on the table of the "paste" to spice your own food.

    After a year of of eating Korean food, I was on my way to being a budding hot head

    Mmmm... kimchi. Worked with an elderly Pinay in San Jose in the 70s. She really liked me and would regularly bring kimchi to work and give it to me. I liked it, as long as fish wasn't in it.

    I don't think I ever met fish in kimchi in Korea---but I did meet a few dogs along the way

    When I was there Korea was drastically different than today, it was widespread poverty. If you had a dog and he got out he wasn't coming back

    Can't resist: They literally became hot dogs.
