Soy Bean EP.1: Gochujang What is Meju? - Meju is an essential ingredient for fermentation, made entirely from soybeans. As the beans dry, beneficial microorganisms attach to them, creating the enzymes necessary for the fermentation process. This is exactly why sauces like Ganjang (soy sauce), Doenjang (soybean paste), and Gochujang develop such a profound, savory umami flavor over time. Why use rice straw? - Rice straw is naturally rich in beneficial bacteria and fungi. We use it so these "good" microbes can transfer onto the Meju and kickstart the fermentation naturally. Ingredients - Soybean - Water - Dried tteok (dried rice cake) - Korean ganjang - Salt - Rice - Gochugaru - Rice Syrup #koreanfood #gochujang
