Cooking tips

Letting the seasoning sauce mature in the refrigerator for at least a day, up to 3 days, allows the ingredients to meld and develop a much deeper flavor.
Soaking the jjukkumi in water to remove excess saltiness beforehand ensures it stays tender and not overly salty after cooking.
To achieve a smoky flavor at home, use a kitchen torch or stir-fry over high heat to quickly evaporate any moisture.

Recommended for
