I recently finished Gourmet, a korean drama. Needless to say, it was a drama the battlefield is taken place in kitchen. Let me tell you! Watching a drama that is always surrounded with delicious looking food does not help!! So in the drama, they use the chili pepper paste.. it looked SO GOOD!! in the drama. I decided that I will have to try it for myself. Being a spicy taste lover and all :)
At first I was really scared because those chili paste tubs are HUGE!! I mean what if i don't like it? or what if it's too spicy to eat! OMG it would take me foreverrrr to finish it... alas! I found a tiny tub of the paste. :) It sat in my frig for a few days before I had the courage to try out the paste. When you first open the tub.. it's soo red! and the smell, it's nothing that I smelled before... totally yum-olicious! with a hint of spice.. hehehe the taste.. is AMAZING!!!! Looking at the paste, you would think all you taste is fire teary spice, but surprisingly you taste the richness of the paste before you are able to experience the tingly spiciness of the paste. Don't let that first taste full you. It's spicy! I eat it with everything now... rice, noodles, etc. The small tub ist almost empty!! It hasn't even been two weeks yet =P I guess that means I can upgrade to a bigger tub.. hahaha it definitely does not replace my better half.. sriracha. Sriracha definitely is MORE spicy! you can sniff how spicy it is.. anywhoms!! now i have two lovers!! :) more the merrier! hehe thank you Gourmet!!
