Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you're all well. Finally, I'm back to participate in this challenge. I'm so happy to be able to participate. I want to specifically share Korean food I've tried. I'm not really a big fan of eating out, but if there's an easy Korean recipe, I'll try it.

Kimchi jigae and sundubu jigae are my favorite Korean dishes. They don't have an overly Indonesian flavor, and they're not overly spicy and soupy. They're very easy to make at home. However, there's one dish I find difficult to accept: bibimbap.

This dish uses gochujang sauce. I have a hard time accepting the taste of gochujang sauce. I also don't know if it tastes the same as the ones in Korean restaurants or what. One day, I became obsessed with Korean food. I tried everything I could find easy to make at home.

Starting with kimchi, ramyeom, toppoki, sundubu jigae, kimchi jigae, and bibimbap. But bibimbap requires gochujang sauce. I bought it. The third time, I still didn't like the taste. I couldn't throw it away. Since I'd already confessed, I had to finish it. That's become my life principle.

To this day, whenever I eat food with gochujang sauce, I struggle to find it palatable. There's a lack of flavor and an unpleasant aftertaste. The seasoning is hard for me to stomach. Once, I thought maybe it was the brand I bought. Some people who buy this sauce don't notice anything.

By the third time, I couldn't stomach it. Even though I finished the sauce, the taste was still hard to stomach. I have to add more sugar and chicken broth when using this sauce. That's all I have to say about my experience trying Korean food. See you in the next story.
