PANCAKE DIPPING SAUCE (CHOGANJANG)

This versatile, ubiquitous sauce can be used for all Jeon (pancakes), and also Mandu (dumplings). Cho, meaning vinegar, and Ganjang— soy sauce, depict its simple base; the richness from the soy sauce, paired with a sharp zing from the vinegar works magically together. There are countless variations of Choganjang, all with their own unique sparkle of seasoning; I love to add spring onions, chilli and sesame seeds as they get stuck to the little crevices when mopping up.

Ingredients

MAKES ABOUT 120 ML (4 FL OZ)

  • 60 ml (2 fl oz) soy sauce
  • 11⁄2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp crushed roasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru (Korean chilli flakes)
  • 2 spring onions, very thinly sliced on an angle

Method

  1. In a small bowl, stir together all the ingredients. Cover and store in the fridge if not using immediately.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageHappy 84th birthday daddy!! 

My father was born in 1939 in Chongju, a city in what is now in North Korea. He and his family (8 brothers and sisters) fled south during the war and he grew up as a refugee on Jeju island.  He still remembers asking American soldiers for “bonbons” as a child. Somehow he made it to Seoul National University medical school through hard work and determination. He immigrated to the USA to do his internship and residency and practiced as a psychiatrist, until retiring at 75. 
He raised two daughter (me and my sis!) with my mom and is a source of constant inspiration for us both to this day. At 84 years old he is still super healthy, doesn’t take any medicine (unheard of at his age!) and still going strong in every way. 

I love you daddy so much!  Happy happy birthday!  Xx❤️❤️ I’ll always be your little girl! ❤️❤️
