Cooking tips

  • Boiled barley rice helps balance the strong saltiness of gang doenjang, adding a satisfying pop and enhancing umami depth.
  • Sautéing the soybean paste in oil first mellows its heavy taste and maximizes sweetness and savoriness through caramelization.
  • To prevent fishy odor, lightly sauté the dried anchovies in a dry pan or one with just a hint of vegetable oil before using.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to taste a deep, savory homemade gang doenjang reminiscent of a grandmother’s country-style cooking.
  • People seeking a versatile wrap paste that pairs perfectly with various fresh greens and isn’t overly salty.
  • Individuals who enjoy unique textures and fun eating experiences, especially the satisfying crunch of barley grains.
