Lost Dog at Camp Coiner?

fmd_good Camp Coiner

My grandpa served at Camp Coiner back in the '60s – said it was freezing cold, even in summer. He told stories about these crazy scavenger hunts they used to do, searching for a "lost" dog statue h… more

Wow, that's a cool story! My uncle was stationed at Camp Coiner in the 70s, and he mentioned something about a hidden dog statue, but couldn't remember the details. He did say the scavenger hunts were legendary, though, full of cryptic clues and all sorts of crazy stuff. Sadly, he never saw the dog himself. Maybe try contacting the @Seoul American Embassy? They might have old base records or know someone who'd be familiar with the statue's history. Or, failing that, search online for Camp Coiner historical societies or veterans' groups – they might hold the key! Good luck with your search, hope you find it!

Dogdogdog's Secret?

Probably gochujang. Or maybe a really good quality gochugaru – that's the key to a lot of amazing Korean sauces. Maybe some fish sauce for umami? It's gotta be something simple, but perfectly balanced. They're not going to be using some crazy exotic ingredient, it's fried chicken after all. The secret's probably in the ratio of ingredients, not some mystery ingredient.

You're probably right about the ratio thing. I was thinking something way more outlandish, haha. Gochujang and gochugaru make total sense – that deep, complex flavor…yeah, I bet it's just mastering the balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. Maybe a touch of something else to round it out, but nothing too crazy. I'm gonna experiment with different ratios this weekend. Wish me luck!
