Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid drying onions at temperatures above 70 degrees Celsius, as they may turn yellow; always dry slowly below 60 degrees for optimal aroma and color.
  • After 10 days of aging, do not discard the remaining crisp dried onion solids—chop finely and use them as a flavorful ingredient in stir-fries or braised dishes.
  • Some of the solids can be mixed with gochujang, water syrup, minced garlic, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds to make a delicious side dish for rice.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to easily achieve deep umami flavor in every meal.
  • People looking to store excess onions long-term while using them productively.
  • Anyone seeking a versatile soy sauce for braising, stir-frying, and various other cooking methods.
