Recipe
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.
