Hi maangchi, finally I found gochujang and rice cake at high end food market in Suria KLCC. It was very expensive. I made this ddubokki is very easy and fast to make. I like the taste of the gravy and the rice cake is very chewy but it taste is a bit sour. I don’t think it reaches expiry date yet, do you think it is spoiled?
thanks mangchi! the gravy tasted fine and not sour, only the rice cake tasted sour..i’m pretty sure i bought correct one. i’ll check it when I return home :) or maybe u can check the photo I uploaded for the Korean grocer section…
I went to the grocery store in Suria KLCC during my Gapshida trip!
“it taste is a bit sour” It is not supposed to taste sour. Hot pepper paste is not sour. https://www.maangchi.com/ingredients/hot-pepper-paste-gochujang
I think you bought chogochujang which is mixture of hot pepper paste, vinegar, and sugar.
However, your ddukbokkie looks very tasty. My chogochujang recipe is posted here: https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/fresh-fish-meal
