I tend to like Korean dishes that are made without gochujang. I love spicy foods like Indian and Mexican (especially chipotle and habanero), but gochujang has a rather unimpressive flavor. If a dish comes served with gochujang in some form, it tends to remind me of covering everything with ketchup. What's the obsession?

Gochujang aside, I really love chueotang, sanche jeongsik and the ubiquitous samgyeopsal.

Agreed. No to little gochujang for me. Loaded with salt.


I'm not a big fan of Korean food anymore. Sticky rice is loaded with starches/carbs.


I used to like Korean-style pancake as my favorite.


I'll eat non-wheat flour based cold noodle dishes in the warmer weather, however, mixed with traditional veggies and different sources of fish and other seafood.


Korean BBQ, without the gochujang, is good.


Hard tofu is great for protein.

If you come to Daegu, you can get really delicious makchang and kopchang, because it is believed to have originated here ^.^ Just... don't think about what it is when you're eating it ^.^;;;

Also, I love red bean paste (팥)~~ <3 How did I live without it before? <3
