고추장(red pepper paste)

Add 고추장 to the rice and mix it with the ingredients.

(고추장 밥에 넣어서 재료들이랑 섞으세요.)

It's red pepper paste that is used commonly in Korean food.

We are used to the taste.

(우리는 그 맛에 익숙해.)

The last time I tried it, my mouth was all numb.

(지난 번에 먹었을 때, 내 입이 다 얼얼했어.)

Was it that bad? (그 정도로 심했어?)

Just put a little bit in then.(그러면 조금만 넣어~)

It won't be too bad with the rice.

(밥이랑 먹으면 그렇게 나쁘지 않을거야.)

I'll just have to see how it really tastes.

(그냥 어떤지 맛이 어떤지 봐야 겠네.)
