Contents 1 question: jol myeon 2 Jol Myeon sauce recipe 3 Late 1700's or 16th century..??? 4 Photo

[edit] question: jol myeon

hi. i have a question about the sauce used for jol myeon (a chili-sauced cold noodle which i've only eaten vegetarian):

is the sauce simply a variation on gochujang (고추장)? is there a standard recipe for this variation (i.e. do variations of this sauce simply add a particular ingredient to gochujang)? also does this have a specific name? and do families usually buy the sauce ready-made or do they prepare it at home?

a further question is how does this sauce differ from the bibimbap condiment?

all answers with be greatly appreciated? (i've also asked this question at Talk:Korean cuisine). thank you very much – ishwar  (speak) 02:39, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jol Myeon sauce recipe

The "official" sauce is made from the following proportions:

2 gochujang, 2 vinegar, 1 sugar, 1 lime-flavored soda (the common 사이다, the closest of which is 7-UP), 0.5 finely-chopped leek (pah, 파), 0.5 semamie-seed oil, a little bit of sesame seed, a little bit of lemon juice.

Basically it's gochujang flavored with vinegar, sugar and a little of lemon juice or similar tart-tasting liquid.

It's called 양념고추장 (yang-nyum gochujang), which just means "flavored gochujang"

[edit] Late 1700's or 16th century..???

In te beginning of the article it says that gojuchang has been in use since the late 1700's, later it talks about the 16th century when peppers were introduced...which one should I believe?? Kbarends (talk) 11:33, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm... the each information are right because the first introduction of red pepper doesn't directly indicate the invention of gochujang. The species was new to the land, so Koreans tried to harvest it and finally got good result to use it as food. It took almost one hundred year. --Appletrees (talk) 13:19, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
