Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using flour when cleaning swamp snails helps remove impurities and foreign substances due to its absorbent properties.
  • Halving the anchovies and microwaving them for 20 seconds removes the fishy smell and adds a deep umami flavor to the gangdoenjang.
  • Adding tofu to the gangdoenjang helps mitigate the saltiness and provides a soft texture.
  • Grain syrup should be added only after the gangdoenjang has cooled for 30 minutes to ensure its unique sweetness and umami are properly preserved.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a salty and savory gangdoenjang to enjoy with spring wrap vegetables.
  • Those who want to properly bring out the chewy texture of swamp snails without any fishy smell.
  • Those who want to make a reliable side dish that stimulates the appetite.
