The sauce that the main character Seoulnan put on his sashimi in episode 5 was 초고추장 (Chogochujang)!
In Japan, it is common to dip sashimi in soy sauce, but in Korea, sashimi is eaten with soy sauce or 초고추장 (chogochujang)!
Chogochujang (초고추장) is gochujang with sugar and vinegar. It can be enjoyed not only with sashimi, but also with vegetables!
It has a sweet and spicy taste that is unique to Korea. You might get hooked after trying it once.
↑ Sashimi served with sweet and spicy sauce 초고추장 (Chogochujang) is the best!
