Golden ratio all-purpose soy sauce that elevates the flavor of every Korean dish—stir-fries, braises, and cold dishes alike

Ingredients needed 10 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use yellow sugar instead of white sugar for a smoother, less intense sweetness and a more balanced umami depth.
  • Do not remove the solids immediately after boiling—let it cool completely so the fruit and vegetable flavors deeply infuse into the sauce.
  • To prevent spoilage, ensure all tools are dry before use, and always store in the refrigerator if possible.

Recommended for

  • Beginners who struggle with measuring seasoning ratios every time they cook.
  • Those who want to quickly and easily finish side dishes, stir-fries, stews, and other Korean meals.
