I cooked this last weekend after I saw your video. Just like you say, it is soooooo good. I have always peeled squash before I cooked it, but you did not, so I did not. Even the skin tasted good. Thanks
So I just bought gochujang and gochugaru to try your Korean Spicy Pork recipe and it was bomb! So now that I see this recipe and have the ingredients I am going to make this!
I have laryngitis right now does the spice sooth or irritate? I like some spice when my throat hurts (Mexican in me I guess) but I am unsure about Korean type spice.
Hi. I have been a fan of your recipes. You really have talent . I wanna try this recipe. Do you put water for it to simmer? I didn’t see it on the written recipe & it’s not also in the videos..how come it has so much sauce?…Please reply back since I’m making it today for my birthday…
Hi Maria, Thank you for your sweet words! The water is coming from the vegetables. Just make sure you stir frequently until it gets saucy. 🙂 Happy Birthday Maria!! <3
Thank you so much!
