Its paste must be separated from the mix, and the residual juice is fermented under the sun. During this fermenting period, amino acids, sugar, and salt made by enzymes make it salty. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/my-favorite-dish-as-a-child#post-1358 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:18:01 +0000 Maangchi 1358@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Yes, this sauce is called Yangnyum ganjang (양념간장) in Korean. It's very deli~cious! : ) I add a little sugar. I love lots of chopped green onion in the sauce. You can use this sauce in many different kinds of dishes. Pour over grilled or roasted fish! It will make a fantastic side dish! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/my-favorite-dish-as-a-child#post-1113 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 23:04:31 +0000 kumaxx 1113@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>this is something, my parents used to make for us kids. I dont know if its a traditional korean dish, because when i made it for my friends, they where looking kinda sceptical. So it could be, that my parents incented this when they immigrated to germany. </p> <p>you prepare ganjang as follows:<br /> 1 cup ganjang<br /> 2-4 tbs sesame-oil<br /> handfull of sesame seeds, hot pepperflakes and green onions.</p> <p>this is a standard ganjang I learned from my mother.</p> <p>you take some fresh made rice, still hot, butter it up nicely and put some of the above ganjang in it. the green onions give it a nice crunch, sesame oil softens it up and well... everything tastes better with butter...</p> <p>best with fresh made kimchi... </p> <p>maybe anyone can tell me if they know this concoction? </p>
