Yeah, when you keep it in the fridge, it easily gets harder. When you put it at room temperature before eating, it will get a little softer, but if you like to make softer kongjang, soak the soy beans a few hours longer than my recipe. The longer you soak them, the softer they will be. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/la#post-707 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 21:18:39 +0000 Kit 707@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi Maangchi,</p> <p>I made your kong jang recipe and just wanted to tell you how delicious it was! Just one question: I noticed that when you keep the beans in the refrigerator, they tend to get a little hard. Is there anything I can do to keep them soft?</p> <p>BTW, I live in Los Angeles and was sorry I missed you. I'm sort of new to the area and was wondering what some of your favorite Korean restaurants are.</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Kit </p>
