      I am a big fan of spicy foods and when I was in Korea there was 2 foods I fell in love with… Dak Galbi and Ssamdak. When I cook Dak Galbi it turns out perfect, however when I try to make Ssamdak (Buldak with cheese) It never has the spicy kick that Ioved. It seems like I have tried every pepper I could and either the taste isn’t quite right or it is not that spicy. I have even went to the Korean market and bought the fresh red hot peppers and it still was not spicy. Some of the recipes are on this page https://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/buldak-recipe… I have heard that in Korea it is possible to get pure capsicum? Is this true??? Any help would be greatly appreciated

      I am sure that in Korea you can find pure capsicum. But that stuff would be over kill. What you could try is some of the really hot sauces. Buy one and add some to jack up you Korean sauce.
