Kim Dae-seok's Gomchwi Doenjang Jangajji

Cooking tips 💡

• Cooking a flour paste and mixing it into the sauce provides food for lactic acid bacteria, which helps fermentation proceed cleanly and acts as a key to creating a deep flavor for the jangajji.
• Roasting the ginger in a dry pan removes its characteristic sharp and acrid taste, leaving only a luxurious and savory flavor that subtly lingers in the sauce.
• Three to four days after making the jangajji, the gomchwi will release its own vegetable juices and wilt. Flipping the top and bottom layers inside the container once will help it age more evenly.
