Cooking tips

  • Hardened dotori-muk stored in the fridge can be revived by soaking in hot water for a few minutes, restoring its soft, chewy texture like fresh dotori-muk.
  • If plum syrup is unavailable, substitute with half a tablespoon of sugar to maintain sweetness.
  • For those who dislike sourness, omit vinegar entirely—this will still yield a rich, savory dotori-muk dish.
  • Avoid mixing vegetables and dotori-muk together at once, as the dotori-muk easily breaks down. Instead, season the vegetables first, then gently fold in the dotori-muk.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a light, refreshing, healthy side dish to enjoy with makgeolli.
  • People wanting to use up leftover vegetables from the fridge in a delicious way.
