Closest recipe I've tried yet that matches the real thing! One thing I'd do is cut the vinegar amount in 1/2 and add a tbsp or two of sesami oil.

I only marinated for 30 min but the flavor was delicious! Tasted just like the spicy pork at my favorite Korean bbq place! I did substitute a mix of fermented soybean paste and sriracha for the hot pepper paste.

I was looking for something with gochujang, a great stuff I remember from my short stay in Korea. I made one change to the recipe as suggested by some reviewers: I reduced the amount of vinegar to 1 tbs. The meat waited about 20h in the fridge (but purely due to cancelation of the event it was made for). The result was GREAT. Thanks a lot.

I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I reduced the hot pepper paste to half of a 1/4 cup and red pepper to 1 tablespoon, and I added 1/4 cup of Spicy Korean Cake sauce. I didn't have green onion, and I used ginger powder instead of fresh ginger. I also used pork chop meat instead of pork loin. I didn't have rice wine vinegar so I used rice vinegar instead. I didn't think the vinegar taste was strong but the ginger; it is possibly because I never really like the ginger taste. I suspect that many reviewers used apple cinder vinegar instead or rice vinegar since ACV has a stronger vinegar taste than rice vinegar. Hot pepper paste is really HOT, and whether the recipe calls for too many hot pepper paste is really a matter of personal taste. To sum up, the favor is good, and I will definitely make it again.

Way too spicy. So much so my family couldn't eat it and I cut the hot pepper paste in half. If you make this cut the pepper paste way, way down.

Although I did not have ginger on hand, this was fantastic!

This is outrageously good! I'm making it tonight for the third time this week! First time was with pork, and it was delicious. Had to try it again with beef. Incredible!! Highly recommend it!

Made this for dinner, substituted cayenne pepper for red pepper flakes and used ½ the amount, I was afraid of it being too spicy. Came out GREAT!!! Will make again as soon as pork tenderloin goes back on sale

I cooked this last night and it was delicious. I had some fresh herbs (mint, coriander and parsley) so I added a bit of each chopped up and had some left over tinned pineapple so I chopped up two rings. Apart from that I followed the recipe but didnt put as much hot pepper paste or chillies and it was nice to eat and left a nice tingle to the mouth after eating it. I will cook this again:-)
