I often use Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) to cook spicy food, but I started using Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) and I am loving it. Today I added 1 tablespoon (that is same as 3 teaspoons) Gochujang and IT WAS HOT!!! I instantly started sweating, my nose got runny, my eyes got watery, and my mouth got burning, BUT it was yummy!
