I remember when I was a kid, my friend would have a counter with a refrigerator behind it that was filled with Shikhe 90% of the time. We dubbed it the Shikhe Bar ^_^ I always found dukbboggi really spicy, although I have a much stronger tolerance now than when I was a kid (I avoided it so much back then, haha). Kimchi was never a problem, though (partially due to Kimchi not being quite has hot temperature-wise). Also, people who hate tofu (you know, the ones who've only seen it and haven't actually tried it?) need to take a faceful of dwenjiangjigae (not going to bother trying to spell it phonetically any better than this >.<) with tofu. It's soooo good (if I had to choose between it and bulgogi, I would definitely take the bulgogi - it's still good, though). | ||

Is it terrible that when I reread my post I felt like "North Korean food" was an oxymoron? | ||

It CAN be very heavy even to the point of it just becoming a curry like rice topping, but it is generally like miso but richer. A good analogy might be sour cream vs creme fraiche. Cheonggukjang is DELISH. Usually I have it stewed with lots of ginger and at a relatively low temp for a while to get rid of the majority of the... fragrance xD | ||

You OBVIOUSLY have no idea how delicious shit smelling stuff is. xD But seriously, brie cheese? Shepard's pie? Any country wurst? Cmon, I'm sure you like some terrible smelling food, you just don't think about it because you associate the fragrance, in the moment, with pure goodness! | ||

I find it so good with meat and vegetables and it's just spicy enough without ruining the dish. Quite cheap too for the quantity I can buy in Asian shops. Well right now I've got about 700gr of beef marinating in a bowl of soya sauce and gochujang to be fried in about 4 hours ;D ![[image loading]](http://i-cdn.apartmenttherapy.com/uimages/kitchen/2012_01_27-gochujang.jpg) | ||

Spicy ass soft-tofu soup with scallions, eggs, seafood, etc. One of my sister's favorite dishes. Not much else to say here, just try it. You know, I spent a year in Korea and never had this soup.... until I got back to the states and went to a Korean restaurant. Tastes great though! Really, anything spicy is a win in my book :D Also, ♥ Kimchi! | ||
