    I picked up a bag of dried red pepper leaves (gochuip I think is the transliteration) out of curiosity last time I was in a Korean grocery store. The bag also says "wild greens" on the front. I figured I'd be able to find something online about how to use them, but I've found nothing at all. Any suggestions?

    Here is a recipe for gochunnip namul. But, I think they are fresh leaves. Is there instructions on the package of your dried leaves about how to reconstitute them?

    The only English on the package is the ingredients list! But I did try soaking the leaves (poured warm water on them and left them for an hour) and it seemed to work. Thanks for the recipe: I'll try it with the dried leaves and see what happens.
