Grandson Eric Kim (Eric Kim) said that his mother saved in the refrigerator a jar of gochujang made by her mother-in-law 10 years ago. Gochujang is a traditional Korean soybean rice paste seasoned with red pepper.
Kim’s mother wanted to surprise her husband and served the dish for dinner. “She called it a ‘time capsule’,” the author of the post noted.
“My father commented that it was a strange feeling to try again a dish he thought he would never try again. Grandma’s gochujang is less sweet than the one in the store. It tastes especially good when mixed with barley rice. or use as a sauce for fried chicken. I can’t believe he’s ten years old, “- said Kim.
His post went viral and made users share their memories of special meals.
