   It’s hard to find it here in Indonesia.. I’m trying to open a one stop korean food store online and offline, and I’m thinking of add tteokboki to the menu. I Sold kimchi and it succeed. But the problem with me is I want to make everything from scratch.. Even with the gochujang, but I think it’s too hard because I can’t find some of the ingredients..

   Hello i would like to try some korean recipes including gochujang but impossible for me to find the fermented soybean flour even on Internet :-( they don’t send to Belgium…
   Would it work with plain soy flour?

     Yes, I don’t have any particular brand I use. But make sure to ask your grocery store owner if the mejugaru is for making doenjang (Korean soybean paste).

   Hi Ms Maangchi! I am interested in making my own gochujang – the link you have to the Amazon.com product – it shows only as “soybean powder” – is this the same as the fermented soybean powder I need for your gochujang recipe? Thanks!

     You mean this product? http://amzn.to/2x41XoE
     If, so, yes that’s meju-garu (fermented soybean powder). Good luck!

       Yassss!! That is great news and thank you for confirming! I did some recon the last time I was at the asian grocery store (about an hour away), and they seem to have all the ingredients to make gochujang except for the fermented soy bean powder. I will get this from your amazon link. I need to carefully plan out my next shopping trip with your recipe and ingredient list so I don’t forget anything on my next visit. They even have different sizes of onggi available to purchase!

   Hi Maangchi,

   I’m thinking about brewing my own soy sauce/bean paste.
   Is Mejugaru a powdered form of the bean blocks used in making soy sauce and bean paste?
