What is Korean Jang 장?
In Korean cuisine, "Jang" (장) refers to a family of traditional fermented sauces that are foundational to Korean cooking. These time-honored condiments are more than just seasonings; they are integral to the development of deep, complex flavors that define Korean dishes.
The most prominent types of Jang include:
-
Doenjang (된장): A rich, savory soybean paste that forms the basis of many Korean stews and soups. Its robust flavor is developed through a fermentation process that can last several months to years.
-
Gochujang (고추장): A spicy-sweet red chili paste made from fermented soybeans, red chili peppers, and rice.
-
Ganjang (간장): Korean soy sauce, which comes in several varieties, including light and dark. It is used for seasoning, marinating, and adding umami to dishes.
These fermented sauces not only enhance the taste of Korean food but also embody the tradition and craftsmanship of Korean culinary culture. They are essential in creating the authentic, layered flavors that characterize Korean cuisine, making them a treasured element in every Korean kitchen.
