How to make Gochujang at home

THE NIGHT BEFORE: Soak malt barley (all 750 g of it!) in 5 litre of cold water for 5 hrs or more.

THE NIGHT BEFORE: Soak sweet rice in water for 3-4 hrs or more.

NEXT MORNING: Strain soaked sweet rice through a colander and remove all excess water.

Grind sweet rice with a blender or chopper as fine as you can make it. Set aside.

Strain malt barley through a fine sieve or medium grade cheese cloth to just get the liquid and some fine white sediments.

Add sweet rice powder to strained liquid from above.

Leave mixture in the oven with a temperature of about 60°C (140°F) for 5 hrs.

Remove malt barley + sweet rice mixture from oven and cook on stove top.

Start at medium high -&gt; medium heat until liquid has reduced by about 20%. Let it cool.

Once liquid is cooled, add fine gochukaru, meju karu and sea salt.

Add rice syrup (jocheong 조청) - add more or less to your taste.

Mix everything well.

Transfer gochujang into the prepared, sanitized clay pot (hangari 항아리).

Sprinkle top with handful of sea salt.

Leave in full sun for 6 months.

I love to cook with chile crisp, a fiery hot-pepper condiment born in the Sichuan Province of China that generally relies on fried shallots and garlic for texture, and on any number of umami-rich special ingredients for distinction and oomph. It’s magical: a boon to noodle soups and kitchen-sink stir-fries, to eggs and cucumbers, to plain steamed fish. Here, I use it as the base of a marinade and topping for baked tofu and green beans, with black vinegar, a little sesame oil, a wisp of honey, minced garlic and ginger, along with scallions and cilantro. But you could use the mixture on a mitten and have a very nice meal.

Tofu and Green Beans With Chile Crisp

Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a baking dish or casserole, whisk together the chile crisp, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic, scallions and cilantro.

Add the tofu slices to the dish, and coat them with the sauce, then allow to marinate for as long as it takes to heat the oven and trim the green beans.

Add the green beans to a large sheet pan, then drizzle the neutral oil on top and toss to coat. Slide the green beans to the sides of the pan, and arrange the slices of tofu in an even layer in the center of the pan. Pour remaining marinade over the tofu, and place in oven.

Roast until the green beans start to blister, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately with rice and extra chile crisp on the side.

Season Beef

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and beef rub to the cubed chuck.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pot the chile was roasting in over medium heat. In two batches add the cubed chuck meat (no need to add more olive oil in between batches). Stir the beef to brown the sides. Remove and reserve the beef for later.

Soften Onions and Garlic

Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat, and add the onions and cook about 6 minutes while stirring often (just to soften the onions). Add the garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.

Add stock

Add the beef stock, salt, and stir to incorporate. Bring the chili to a simmer and continue simmering uncovered for 2 - 3 hours stirring occasionally.

The chili is done when the beef has become fork tender, almost falling apart AND the liquids have reduced. This will take between 2 and 3 hours.

Add Masa Flour

Once the beef is done and liquid has reduced, add the masa flour and stir. Turn off the heat and continue stirring. The chili will thicken.

Korean

meju powder ((fermented soybean powder))

C sweet rice flour

C Sea Salt (Trader Joe's)

C rice syrup ((jocheong))

Tbsp green plum syrup ((maesil cheong) – optional)

In a pot (preferable flat bottomed and uniform sides), mix water and sweet rice flour. Mix it well with a whisk. Bring to boil, stirring often to prevent any lumps from forming and to make a paste. (much like sweet rice paste for kimchi)

When it starts to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 min. or so until it is fully thickened to a paste. Stirring often to avoid lumps.

Add 1 cup rice syrup to sweet rice flour paste and mix. You can add more if you want a sweeter gochujang.

Turn off heat and let it cool.Cooling time will be different based on your room temperature but for me it took about 2 hrs to cool the rice paste + rice syrup mixture from 3.

Add meju powder, chili powder and salt to cooled rice syrup liquid.

Use a whisk and mix everything well until there are almost no lumps.

Let your gochujang mature a little more for 2-3 days in the fridge or at cool temperature before using it for even more flavor.

This homemade harissa recipe is a versatile chili paste made with a mix of chili peppers, oil and seasonings, including cumin, caraway, and coriander. Learn how to make it.

Homemade Harissa Recipe (How to Make Harissa Paste)

dried chiles de arbol

tomato paste (optional)

Roasted red bell pepper (optional)

caraway seeds

coriander seeds

cumin seeds

lemon

Soak the Peppers

Set the dried peppers into a large bowl or pot and pour boiling water over them. Let them steep about 20 minutes to soften. Set them into the food processor. NOTE: I prefer to dry toast the dried peppers in a hot skillet a few minutes before rehydrating them to release their oils, though you can make harissa without this step.

Toast the Seeds

Dry roast the caraway seeds, coriander sees and cumin seeds in a pan until they are fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Cool then grind them up with a mortar and pestle. Into the food processor they go.

Process

Add all remaining ingredients and process to form a paste while drizzling in the olive oil. Strain for a smoother harissa.

Store

Store in a jar with a little oil over the top. Use as needed.
