STEP 1/15
Prepare fermented soybeans, dried peppers, charcoal, jujube, bottled water, bay salt, and a jar to be aged and a glass lid.
* You can buy charcoal + dried peppers as a set at the market or the mart.
STEP 2/15
It's better to have a yellow inside when you cut a good fermented soybean lump, and it's better to have white mold.
* The fermented soybean lump used to make soybean paste 3 years ago
STEP 3/15
It's a fermented soybean lump from my parents' house.
It looks a little different from the fermented soybean lump above.
* Wash the foreign substances on the outside of the fermented soybean lump, remove the moisture, cut them in half, and remove the mold inside using a toothbrush.
STEP 4/15
If there is too much mold, wash it clean (remove using a toothbrush) and drain it for about a day.
STEP 5/15
It's good to make salt water for soybean paste in advance and let the foreign substances sink for about a day or a day.
The ratio of fermented soybean lump, salt, and water is
1:1~1.2:3~4 is ideal
Depending on the region, it may vary slightly depending on the date of immersion
STEP 6/15
Prepare the coarse salt without the salt.
STEP 7/15
If you float an egg washed with salt water and it's about the size of a 500 won coin, you can think of it as a salt concentration for soybean paste.
STEP 8/15
Disinfect the washed jar.
(I couldn't get straw because I was in Seoul, so I used a kitchen towel.)
Wipe the soot in the jar cleanly with a kitchen towel.
* I'm using the fire, so be careful not to get burned
STEP 9/15
Put the fermented soybean lump in the sterilized jar.
STEP 10/15
Pour in salt water.
STEP 11/15
It's good to use a sieve when pouring salt water.
* If you don't have time and can't afford to let salt water sink for a day or so
STEP 12/15
It's a sunken foreign substance in salt water.
STEP 13/15
I heard it's good to heat the charcoal and put it in a jar, so I heated it up in a gas stove.
* Be careful because you might get burned.
STEP 14/15
Add charcoal and pepper and jujube.
* Wipe dates and peppers cleanly with cotton cloth or kitchen towel.
STEP 15/15
Cover the glass jar and get a good sun,
You can ripen it for 40 to 60 days in a well-ventilated place and then split it.
* You can ripen it for a year and divide it into jang. (It varies from region to region to house)
- Good fermented soybean lump is good to have white mold
- I like fermented soybeans made with domestic beans.
