Cooking tips 💡

  • When cooking grain rice, adding yeondu and a little oil prevents the grains from sticking together, gives them a glossy sheen, and makes the rice delicious on its own.
  • When making the oriental dressing, maintain an approximate 1:2 ratio of acid (vinegar) to fat (oil), and use yeondu as a substitute for soy sauce to achieve a clean dressing with no musty aftertaste.
