Recipe 🍳

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the trimmed minari and blanch for exactly 30 seconds.
Immediately transfer the blanched minari to cold water to stop the cooking and cool it down, then rinse.
Drain the cooled minari and squeeze out the excess water with your hands.
Place the squeezed minari in a container and pour in enough cham sauce to just submerge it. Done.

Blanch minari in boiling water for 30 seconds, then rinse in cold water.
Squeeze out the water from the minari firmly with your hands.
Put the minari in a storage container and pour in enough store-bought cham sauce to barely cover it.

Cooking tips 💡

Do not blanch the minari for more than 30 seconds, or it will lose its crunchy texture and become tough.
Squeeze out the water as much as possible so the jangajji sauce doesn't get diluted and remains intensely savory.
