It’s called “kong ga roo (콩가루)” in Korean. Thanks!

I bought kong garu at Megmart today, but it ended up being the unroasted kind. Yuck! It tastes awful. The package says “nal kong garu. ”

How do I make sure it’s the roasted kind next time?

Or should I try roasting the powder myself?

Thanks :)

Josh,
oh, no! You must’ve felt frustrated! “nal” in Korean means “raw”. You will have to buy “bokkeun konggaru”(볶은 콩가루)”bokkeun” means roasted in korean. I would return it to the store and bring right one instead of roasting it at home. Why don’t you print out the photo of konggaru on my ingredient section and show them to find it for you?
