The sauce files, episode 4: Pork bulgogi marinade

What: Chung Jung One's pork bulgogi marinade
Main ingredients: Korean hot pepper paste, sugar, pureed apple, pear, kiwi and pineapple, soy sauce

Appearance: Doesn't look like much - it's runny and reddish brown
Flavour: Packs a punch - the first taste is salt, fruitiness and hint of ground rice, then the chillies punch you in the face about 1/2 a second after it hits your taste buds. Finally, the sweetness starts to build. A little goes a long way
Would go well with: Designed as a marinade, rather than a dipping sauce, this dark horse is a great addition to perk up a dull soup or noodle dish. It also, and keep this between us, tastes absolutely fantastic on cheesy natchos
Marks out of 10: 8.5
