Lim Sung-geun's All-Purpose Gangjungjang

Cooking tips 💡

• Avoid overcooking the vegetables in the gangjungjang, as they may become mushy—cook just until they're half-done to maintain a crisp texture.
• Instead of using starch powder to prevent thinning, adding fresh potato juice enhances the depth of flavor and adds a rich, savory note.
• Adding 1/3 cup of soju at the end helps eliminate any off-flavors and provides a sterilizing effect, allowing the gangjungjang to be stored in the refrigerator for more than a week.
