      Hi Maangchi,

      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?

      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.

      Best,

      Kit

      Kit,

      That’s nice you made kongjang! 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.
