I’m going to make Oi Muchim for the first time. I bought all of the ingredients from our local Asian food market. I may have bought the wrong coarse red chili pepper flakes. It turns out this red pepper is from China and it doesn’t mention gochugaru or Korean red peppers in the ingredients. I have read that gochugaru peppers have a different/unique flavor. The translation indicates Sanpa Red Pepper which the internet tells me is likely referring to Sichuan pepper which is not a true chili pepper but is known for its citrus-like flavor and a distinctive tingling, numbing effect on the tongue. I think this pepper is a “no go” for the oi muchim recipe. Agree? submitted by /u/ThePietje |
