Making South Korea’s Secret Sauce
In Korea, the secret sauce has long been gochujang. From kimchi to bibimbap to Korean BBQ, gochujang is a favorite among chefs everywhere, and is poised to soon become as big as Sriracha.
In
Korea, no one makes it better than Seo Youngsoon. She’s been stirring up the
stuff for the past 40 years, using traditional techniques passed down from
generation to generation. By teaching others how to make the sauce using
traditional methods, she is helping preserve a recipe that epitomizes Korean
gastronomy and culture.
