Cooking tips
- Don't discard the shiitake stems; save them separately to use when making broth for soups—they add depth of flavor.
- The key is to adjust the amount of soy sauce so that no excess liquid remains, cooking it like a topping rather than a sauce.
- Store the finished tteokgukjang in an airtight container. It's a handy all-purpose topping for tteokguk, manduguk, bibimbap, and many other dishes.
Recommended for
- Those who want to make a savory, deep-flavored all-purpose topping for soups or rice dishes.
- Those looking for a family secret seasoning that can be made once and used like a cheat code in various dishes.
