    These pickled Korean peppers will sure become your favorite side dish by itself or paired with other Korean dishes! This humble and rustic dish comes together with minimal effort, but the result is so satisfying and long lasting! The combination of the sweet and savory flavors from the brine works magically with the crunchy/chewy pickled peppers.

    my grandmother’s jangajji

    I grew up eating tons of Jangajji thanks to my grandmother who was a jangajji guru. She would pickle everything and I mean everything! Radishes, cucumbers, peppers, cabbages, sesame leaves, and even fruits!! You would literally see 10 or more glass jars lined up in a row, each representing a different type of jangajji. I didn’t understand why she loved them so much, but as I got older, I wanted to replicate those flavors I had growing up.

    what can you pair with gochu jangajji

    There are unlimited ways to consume jangajji. These pepper jangajji goes great with Korean bbq and lettuce wraps. You can also use these as toppers for stews and soups. The brine is also great for adding into anywhere you want a little bit of sweet and savory flavors such as stir fry or bibimbap. Seriously, everything in the jar is edible!

    how long do these korean pickled peppers last?

    I am not exactly sure how long this will stay fresh, however, i have kept mine in my fridge for about 3 months and it’s still looks fresh. Remember to use a glass jar and a tight lid. And do not contaminate with used utensils. With these simple tricks, you can definitely store these peppers in the fridge for an extensive time!
