Gochujang autumnal Korean goulash soup with pumpkin and zucchini. Rapidly out of the pressure cooker.
N Attention 3 degrees, fine tights, the now almost too cool become transition Jäckle - I have to say more? That screams for ... yes, exactly: heart-warming goulash soup! And for the extra portion of heat, the delicious soup classic gets a thrilling Korean twist from me today. With some gochujang chili paste, ginger, sesame oil and soy sauce, the stew takes its proper flavor and gets really spicy. Plenty of pumpkin and zucchini also bring the Korean goulash soup to the plus on the vegetable front (5 a day and so - you know).
Gochujang is a staple ingredient in Korean cuisine and is used in countless dishes, marinades, Dips and dressings used. The red chilli paste is a naturally fermented product and ideally consists only of chillies, rice, fermented soybeans, barley malt and salt. Since the Koreans like it very spicy, Gochujang also has Peppp (yes, with at least three "p").
Korean Chili.Paste - from slightly spicy to hellish everything is in it
As a beginner, you should first use the chili paste in small quantities and then slowly grope up in the degree of severity. But do not worry: a teaspoon of gochujang on a pot of goulash is by no means too spicy and gives the whole an exciting taste twist. Of course, the pros among you can indulge in two or more spoons for the perfect Korea feeling. Incidentally, the chili paste is available in margarine-sized cups and lasts forever without cooling.
Speaking of eternity: If you have a pressure cooker at home, the Korean goulash soup cooks very fast - shortened by cooking under pressure the cooking time is almost a third of the time. The meat stews tenderly in 30 minutes, the vegetables then need another short 5 minutes ... only the scent that runs through the apartment ... .. hmmm! But even without a pressure cooker, the soup is easy to make (see tip on cooking times below). Maybe a nice project for a Sunday morning with Couch and Netflix?
Serve the autumn Korean goulash soup with some rice and kimchi. And:

Tips:
The goulash soup tastes (as always) pulled through a bit better than freshly cooked. Therefore, it is worthwhile to prepare a larger amount and to serve it warmed up in the next few days.
If you do not have a pressure cooker, you can of course also cook the soup very easily in a normal large pot. Only the cooking times are then extended accordingly by about 2.5 times. The meat should first stew for about 1.25 hours with the onions, then cook the vegetables with the goulash for 15-20 minutes. Just perfect for a dull, leisurely Sunday morning at home!
