How to Eat Korean Chili Peppers with Ssamjang | feat Spicy Gochujang #풋고추 #청양고추 #오이고추 #아삭이고추 #홍고추

Thinking of Korean food evokes many dishes that are fiery red or crazy spicy. So you'd think the country's chili peppers would be one of the world's spiciest. Surprise! They're not! I got all the chili peppers sold at the Korean market and made OPPA taste test them all, so let's get right to it 😎. Korean Green Peppers 풋고추 - can be eaten fresh with dip - flavour has slight bitter aftertaste but is suited to dip in Ssamjang (savoury paste) and to eat with a meal - most common Korean pepper used Korean Red Pepper 홍고추 - use to cook or garnish - too tough to enjoy fresh - this is the pepper that's dried and crushed to make Gochugaru (Korean red pepper powder) - this is Korean green pepper that has ripened Korean Cucumber Pepper 오이고추/아삭이고추 - mild and not spicy (although you never know with chili peppers, you might get a wild card spicy crop) - monster crunch and juicy, it's delicious imo - perfect to get your veggies in for those who don't enjoy spicy
