Cooking tips 💡

  • Use lean cuts of beef such as round steak, finely ground, for long-term storage without developing an unpleasant odor and for a cleaner taste.
  • When using this sauce as a dressing for banquet noodles or bibim guksu, simply add chili powder, sesame seeds, and sesame oil to dramatically elevate the dish's flavor.
