Reply To: How are gochu (peppers) used when not dried?

When I was in Korea a couple years ago, visiting a friend, we at the peppers, fresh, with every meal. They are harvested green, not allowed to go to red. Everywhere we ate green peppers were served as a side dish. It took me a couple of tries to get into it. They are hot peppers, but not so hot that you cannot eat them fresh. Like how some people eat fresh jalapeno peppers. They have an outstanding flavor, fresh, better than jalapenos.
