Cooking tips

  • It's important to blanch the eggplant only briefly, about 30 seconds, as over-blanching will make it mushy.
  • Over time, the eggplant will release water, so it's best to season it slightly on the saltier side when first mixing.
  • If you don't have Joseon ganjang, you can substitute with guk-ganjang, adjusting the ratio accordingly.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a perfectly seasoned, not bland, side dish that stimulates the appetite.
  • Those who want to recreate the savory, nutty flavor of restaurant-style seasoned eggplant.
