Dried Pollack Gochujang Jangajji
….Do you know dried pollack gochujang jangajji? Have you ever tried this dish? I never tried this dish before. Dried pollack is a great ingredient, but it isn’t easy for me to cook it deliciously. I found a different way — jangajji with gochujang. It is a side dish made by fermenting. It is clear that it is a familiar food to those of us who eat steamed rice as a staple food. Making jangajji with dried pollack changed from the taste of the crispiness to moist and savory. There is no one who has never eaten it, and no one has only eaten it once. I don’t have a special recipe for this dish, so I made my own. I added flavor with my Mat-Gan-Jang and chose minimal ingredients. Also I waited for fermenting this dish about 10 days….WOW!! It’s finger-licking good. It’s a “meal thief”, a dish so delicious that the bowl of rice is gone in no time. It’s the best side dish!! Suddenly, my husband asked me “I want to give this side dish to someone! Can you make it more for them?”…. Oh!!….I’ll try to make it even more delicious tomorrow…
