A few things that affect the spice.</p> <p>Not all red pepper paste is equal. I know of one brand that is extreamly hot. Red pepper is the first item on the ingrediant list. </p> <p>Sugar helps to cut the heat it is not unusual for spicy Ddukbokkie to be loaded with it.</p> <p>How watered down the sauce is. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/how-spicy-is-ddukbokkie-supposed-to-be#post-1992 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:15:18 +0000 kumaxx 1992@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>well... season to taste... if its too hot, just use less gochujang or put more broth in it.<br /> thats the thing with korean food. no real measurements, only experience.<br /> and yeah, it's a staple (not only) for kids. there is nothing better than ddukbokkie after a long boring day of school.<br /> and when you are older, try ddukbokkie with chicken or pork and beer. still good.<br /> and of course, there is nothing better after a long night of drinking before you have to go to work again. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/how-spicy-is-ddukbokkie-supposed-to-be#post-1991 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:03:49 +0000 Preesi 1991@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Okay I made regular Ddukbokkie before and I swear it was so spicy that when I was just now watching Maangchis video of Ddukbokkie making my mouth was hurting just by the thought of eating it.<br /> I read the link Maagchi just tweeted<br /> <a href="http://starchymarie.blogspot.com/2009/12/dduk-bok-ki.html?0.43545447700653794" rel="nofollow">http://starchymarie.blogspot.com/2009/12/dduk-bok-ki.html?0.43545447700653794</a><br /> And the author states that she ate Ddukbokkie as a child a lot.</p> <p>I just cant see any child eating Ddukbokkie that was as spicy as mine!</p> <p>Maybe I used too much hot pepper paste or Maanchis spoon is smaller than it looks. </p> <p>But how spicy is Ddukbokkie supposed to be? </p>
