Soju pasta sauce

A former ESL teacher from Chuncheon, South Korea, creates another East meets West pasta dish, this time drawing inspiration from Italy, Russia and Korea. This is a Koreafornian adaptation of Penne ala Vodka, replacing vodka with soju for a Korean kick.

I love vodka sauce so this should be good. But don't forget to serve some soju on the side!

Hi Tamara - just discovered your very interesting channel. Just to let you know - I will be posting a link to this video in my next Pastastic newsletter (as I have a 'traditional' penne alla vodka recipe on my site already). Wonderful stuff!

@MDIS you know it dont matter bout alcohol content u cook it out....it evaporates o its safe for kids to eat too

[MDIS]

In Japan , i would normally add a little of sweet cooking alcohol known as MIRIN ( actually and historically , MIRIN was drunk on festivals and special religious and cultural purposes but soon became a culinary addition to remove any fish odour on certain dishes ).

Japanese Sake` is also common in Japanese cooking. From making the famous Teriyaki Sauce , to add balance and power and to heighten the flavor profile. You can try using Sake` as its alcohol level is lower than Korean Soju.

Anything that includes cream, tomatoes and noodles has got to be incredible. Thanks for incorporating history into the recipe.

That looks wonderful! From the way it looks, it seems possible to develop it into something similar to a ragù-like sauce.
