Cooking tips 💡
- Squeeze the danmuji firmly to remove moisture before mixing; this prevents the seasoning from becoming diluted and maximizes the crunchy texture.
- For a spicier kick, thinly slice cheongyang chili peppers and mix them in as well.
- If you mix a large batch in advance, it may become watery and bland, so it is recommended to mix lightly right before eating.
