Where Did Sauerkraut Originate?
So even though “sauerkraut” is a German word, it actually has different origins. Some believe that it comes from the Mongol Empire, while others believe that it originally came from China and was later brought to Europe, where it became popular in central and eastern Europe.
No matter where it originally came from, I’m sure glad that it exists because without it I couldn’t have this wonderful Sauerkraut Soup to enjoy.
Tips And Tricks For Making Instant Pot Sauerkraut Soup
- The Instant Pot will NOT turn your cabbage to mush. This is a common question for recipes like this, and I make sure to test my recipes several times before I give them to you, so you can know that if you follow my recipe exactly, your food will look like the pictures.
- This Sauerkraut soup keeps for about a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Do You Drain Bagged Sauerkraut Before Cooking?
If you choose to use bagged sauerkraut for this recipe, the answer is yes. The brine that the bagged sauerkraut is packed in can be quite a strong flavor that can overpower the other flavors in the soup.
If you find that the bagged sauerkraut is still too strong of a flavor in this Sauerkraut Soup , you can always try draining and rinsing the sauerkraut several times before adding it to the pot.
Is Sauerkraut Soup Good For You?
Sauerkraut is loaded with vitamins and probiotics. It’s great for improving digestive health. This Sauerkraut Soup is also low carb so if you’re watching your carbs for weight loss or reduction of inflammation, it’s a healthy meal option.

Have You Heard Of These?
Have you heard of Korean Hot Sauce? How about Korean Red Sauce, Bibimbap Sauce, or Korean Fried Chicken Sauce? They’re all gochujang.
While it technically can’t be considered a hot sauce because of its Scoville units, it still packs a punch.
It’s a less spicy version of sriracha with an umami flavor due to the aging process it undergoes.
What Is In Gochujang?
- Red Chili Powder
- Fermented Soybeans
- Ground Glutinous Rice
- Salt
Some brands of gochujang will include sweeteners such as honey or sugar.
The chili powder will make it red in color to add a beautiful color to whatever food you add it to.
Is Gochujang Spicy?
There are different levels of spice in gochujang. Here are some of the 5 different heat levels in some of the varieties I’ve tried. It comes in five levels:
- Mild Hot
- Slightly Hot
- Medium Hot
- Very Hot
- Extremely Hot
Guess which one is my favorite.
What Is In Spicy Mayo?
This Gochujang Mayonnaise is one of our favorite condiments. It takes only a few ingredients and adds killer flavor! So next time you go to make a burger, or sandwich, or wrap, or grilled meat - make Gochujang Mayonnaise! Now, being that this has Gochujang in it it will be spicy. It’s not overwhelming and it has amazing flavor, but you’ve been warned!
I made this recipe specifically to go with the flavor of my Bulgogi Burgers , and it got rave reviews. Have you tried them yet?
What Can I Use Instead Of Gochujang?
Honestly? Nothing. There’s not true substitute for Korean Gochujang. It’s a wonderful flavor and worth every minute of waiting for it to ship if you can’t find it locally.
If you’re having trouble finding it, try ordering this Gochujang .
If you simply can’t wait to get your hands on Gochujang, you can try substituting Sriracha. It will still give you a spicy mayo, but the flavor profile will not be the same.
Why Make Korean Hot Sauce?
First, it tastes like a dream.
Second. It’s full of flavor and is authentic.
Third. If you follow my recipes, you probably already have all of the ingredients.
How Do You Make Spicy Mayo From Scratch?
- Gather your ingredients.
- Mix them together.
- Enjoy!
Seriously. That’s it. It’s such an incredibly simple recipe but it will amplify anything you choose to eat it on.
