I am sure I'll get a lot of hate for even mentioning Carbonara here, as I used bacon instead of guanciale because I'm poor, parmesan instead of pecorino because that's what I had, and, of course, adding gochujang hahah.
But this was excellent. Truly incredible and I will be making it again without a doubt.

Looks great!
I made [fake carbonara with ramps](https://imgur.com/a/7YW1z5U) a couple of weeks ago and it would have been the best batch of carbonara I’ve ever made but I was afraid the Carbonara Carabinieri was going to break down my door while I was eating it.
Gochujang add-in sounds fire.
If you want a similar texture with less cultural hate from purists, use Ndjua sausage instead of the gochujang. I also use Parm instead of Peccorino, or at least a blend. I just like parm more.
Straight to El Salvador
It looks very good and I also use gochuchang in pasta dishes(fantastic ingredient) but being Italian i wonder why this would be carbonara style? For the egg yolk? Basically the only thing that makes it close to a true carbonara is the spaghetti and the egg yolk. Also it doesnt look like a poor dish at all. It s just misnamed lol but again everyone does what he wants at the end
I lived culture crimes!
Same, I really love spicy food having an Asian palate
I love cultural mash ups when they are done purposefully, diligently and not a bastardized version. I don’t LOVE the word fusion because the bad connotation that comes with it, but it is what this is. I love your take on a Korean and Italian carbonara. I don’t think this is a culture crime! Very excited to try something like this myself.
