INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Available in Korean markets. Consists of soy beans which are
made into dumplings, fermented, dried, and then powdered. In a bowl,
combine YEODKIREUM powder and water. Mix well, then strain off
liquid into a large pot. Add glutenous rice powder to liquid and mix
well. Cook over low heat (113F, 45C). Remove from heat and allow to
stand until rice powder is dissolved. Heat to boiling, then reduce
heat and let cook for 30 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool.
When completely cool, stir in MEJU and chili powder and blend well.
Leave overnight. The next day, mix in 4 cups of the salt and transfer
mixture to a large container. Sprinkle remaining salt over, then
cover with loosely woven cloth such as cheesecloth or gauze. Leave in
a sunny place to ferment, stirring occasionally, for one month.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Use a large container, as mixture rises as it
ferments. During fermentation, cover container at night. Adapted from
