Cooking tips

  • Microwaving the ginger removes some moisture and softens its aroma in the pickle.
  • Pouring the hot brine directly onto the raw sweet potato stems helps preserve their crisp texture.
  • Dissolve the doenjang in soju before adding it so it blends evenly into the brine.
  • Remove the kombu after about one week if its mucilage makes the brine too thick.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy the crisp texture of sweet potato stems in pickle form.
  • People seeking a savory, low-salt pickling sauce with deep umami flavor.
  • Those looking to create a unique side dish using summer sweet potato stems.
