Cooking tips 💡

• Since the green garlic stalks themselves act as both garlic and green onion, never add garlic, green onions, or fermented shrimp to the seasoning to keep the flavor clean.
• Soil often gets trapped between the leaves and stems, so carefully wash under running water, spreading the stalks apart.
• Using blended dried chili peppers instead of only gochugaru reduces any pasty texture and brings out a brighter color and natural sweetness.
