I wanted to add shrimp to the Momofuku noodles I posted about earlier, and this was a suggestion from another customer. (I prepared the "Soy & Scallion" flavor)
I decided to just sautée the shrimp in some soy sauce, and that turned out to taste just right.
It didn’t need any kind of pepper, because I also had the "Chili Crunch" the maker recommended.
Just a little bit was sufficient, and it was hot, but not unbearable.
So, overall, it turned out pretty well. 😄

It's neither Oregano nor pepper. It's widely used in Mexican cuisine. Are you making pozole or menudo.

You should be able to find it in a neighborhood Tienda. You can ask for orégano mexicano, or orégano silvestre or orégano del campo.

Didn't know myself, so I let the AI look up the differences from below...

Only thing I could find……..

Oregano pepper is not a commonly recognized term; however, it may refer to the use of oregano as a seasoning that can have a peppery flavor. Oregano is a herb often used in cooking, particularly in Mediterranean and Mexican cuisines, known for its robust and aromatic taste.

I think oregano has a peppery note.

There is no such thing as oregano pepper.


Oregano has more Vit A than black pepper though.

Some comparison is here.

I'm with you here, as is in having no idea what the recipe means by that.

I have no idea. Never heard of it.

Screw it.....use a herb you like and add perspective .....(Hahaha - that was meant to be pepper but auto corrected😂)


Recipes are like that. Substitute to your hearts desire 🤗



Maybe its a typo and should have said 'oragano and pepper'?

Very cool. I have been trying new recipes several times a month, have learned a lot. But not what that is! :-)

Mexican oregano is available online and supposedly in walmart. Totally different plant.

I've never heard of it, maybe it's an error

Oregano and soy is an unusual combo

Its like cinnamon-sugar: a mixture of the two

Reading through such posts shows me how ignorant I am😊

Greek Oregano tastes peppery
