• Korean cooking basics that changed how I cook Western food too

    Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) has a heat profile that works in pasta, grilled vegetables, and eggs. Doenjang (fermented soybean paste) is similar in application to miso but earthier. Starting with these two ingredients changed my baseline cooking more than any Western pantry addition has.
