INGREDIENTS
1 pound green chili peppers, washed and dried
3 ½ cups water
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup salt
¼ cup white vinegar

DIRECTIONS
- Cut the stems the peppers, leaving a ½ inch on the topGreen chili-pepper-pickles-(gochujangajji)
- Make a hole with a toothpick or fork on each pepper, just under the stem. These holes will allow the brine to seep into the pepper.Green chili-pepper-pickles-(gochujangajji)
- Put the peppers into a glass jar that can hold at least 8 cups.Green chili-pepper-pickles-(gochujangajji)
- Combine the water, soy sauce, vinegar, and the sugar in a pot. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Cover and bring to a boil over medium high heat. When the brine boils and bubbles vigorously on the surface, pour it into the jar of green chili peppers.Green chili-pepper-pickles-(gochujangajji)
- Keep the peppers submerged in the brine by weighing them down with your bag of pebbles (or anything else handy).Green chili-pepper-pickles-(gochujangajji)
- Cover and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
- 24 hours later open the jar, take out the pebbles, and pour the brine out of the jar into a pot.Green chili-pepper-pickles-(gochujangajji)
- Boil the brine vigorously for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let cool thoroughly. If you want it to cool faster, place the pot into a bath of ice water but be sure not to splash cold water into the brine.
- Pour the cool brine back into the jar. Cover and refrigerate for 1 week or more before eating.
