Kim Dae-seok's Onion Jam

A versatile seasoning that adds deep umami and healthy sweetness to a hundred dishes

Ingredients needed 20 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use high-quality onions without any damage, as wounds can cause spoilage during fermentation.
  • If raw sugar is used in less than a 1:1 ratio, sourness may develop within a week or mold may grow—strictly maintain the 1:1 weight ratio.
  • Do not discard the strained onion solids; grind them and use them to marinate meat or when making doenjang or kimchi for enhanced umami flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enhance the umami of their dishes using natural ingredients without artificial seasonings.
  • Those looking to make homemade sweet condiments that deliver sweetness while supporting health.
