Cooking tips

  • Always turn off the heat before adding the seasonings, as they burn easily—add all ingredients first, then turn the heat back on.
  • The sauce can stick to the bottom quickly as it thickens, so use a non-stick pan and continuously stir with a spatula to prevent scorching.
  • Using joseong adds a subtle sweetness and gives the dish a glossy, appetizing sheen.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a delicious side dish to finish a bowl of rice even without other side dishes.
  • People who want to use zucchini in a unique and long-lasting side dish recipe.
  • Anyone wanting to make a homemade, umami-rich condiment to pair with grilled meat or bibimbap.
