It's korean. Slightly fermented, it's for making kimchi or any
number of noodle, vegetable, or tofu dishes. It the soy sauce of
Korea. I have the same brand in my fridge. It lasts forever.

Thanks. I opened it and used some in my kimchi today. I think I can use this
in lots of recipes ;-)

Hi Wilson,

That's no type of kimchi I've ever heard before ...

It's used in spring, summer and winter kimchis all the time.

Don't know what you've heard, but maybe a hearing-aid
is in order.

Yes - for pickling deodeok, doraji etc. But don't you call that
jangajji?

My hearing is very good, thank you very much. So is my reading - my
Korean books do tell me as mentioned above.

Yes, I do prepare Korean food, too. A lot. Koreans love it. Some even
think we've brought the pickled garlic and perilla-leaves from
Korea...

Bye, Sanne.
