• Spicy perfectly tolerates temperature extremes and state changes. If there is a large amount of sauce left or it contains perishable ingredients, you can pour it into an airtight container, put it in the freezer.
• Kimchi - hot sauce with ginger, garlic and other aromatic ingredients. It is important not to confuse it with the Korean cabbage dish of the same name.
