Do you mean chile powder, or the chile paste, like in the recipe? You can buy Korean chile flakes by the bag at Asian markets that have Korean ingredients; they look just like the flakes one might sprinkle on a pizza. They are spicy, but not super hot (unless your tolerance is low for such things). Any sort of hot pepper flake would work though, I imaagine. Hot chile powder? I would just use cayenne myself. And the paste shouldn't be hard to find in an Asian market, especially as the blogger supplied the Korean name.savingdogs said:
Are you German from Germany, or German/American? Either way, I can empathise with your husband. My DH is German from Germany; I just about fainted the first time he suggested that maybe I should have added some garlic to whatever I had just servedsmurfette79 said:
. One of the first things I ever cooked for him was chicken in a chile sauce; he still claims I was trying to kill him! But, after 37 years with me, and 34 years in America, he is getting much better .
Wait a minute - one more side track; early, early in our relationship DH (fiance, as he was then) was giving me a hard time (in fun, sort of) about "you Americans, you are always talking about being a little of this, and a little of that, and 3/16ths of the other ... we Germans, we are just German!". His mother heard this, and said "you do realize, don't you, that my maiden name is Czech?". Of course, he hadn't known that (as whenever the family had moved into Germany from Bohemia or wherever was lost in the mists of time), but he has been very quiet about my Scottish/Irish/English/and probably a bit of Dutch ancestry ever sincesmurfette79 said:
