Main Ingredients
- Soaked Black Soybeans 3 measuring cups (soaked for at least 4 hours)
Seasoning Ingredients
- Water 3 measuring cups
- Soy Sauce 6 Tbsp
- Brown Sugar (or Dark Brown Sugar) 5 Tbsp
- Sesame Seeds, a pinch (for garnish)
- Water 3 measuring cups
- Soy Sauce 6 Tbsp
- Brown Sugar (or Dark Brown Sugar) 5 Tbsp
- Sesame Seeds, a pinch (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the black soybeans thoroughly. Then, pour enough water to fully submerge the beans and soak them for about 4 hours until they are soft. Proper soaking time is crucial for tender and flavorful Jangjorim.
Step 2
Once soaked, rinse the black soybeans several times under running water to remove any impurities. This will result in a cleaner, more refined taste.
Step 3
Place the rinsed black soybeans in a wide pan or pot. Add 3 measuring cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for about 5 minutes to lightly blanch the beans.
Step 4
After boiling for 5 minutes, add 6 Tbsp of soy sauce to the pan. Soy sauce not only removes any gaminess from the beans but also adds depth to the flavor.
Step 5
Next, add 5 Tbsp of brown sugar (or dark brown sugar). The sweetness of the sugar will meld with the soy sauce, creating the delicious flavor profile of the Jangjorim.
Step 6
Gently stir with a spatula to combine the beans and seasonings. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to slowly penetrate the beans.
Step 7
Now, lower the heat to low. Let it simmer gently until most of the liquid has evaporated and the beans are coated in a thick glaze. The beans will start to develop a glossy sheen during this stage.
Step 8
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over the finished Jangjorim and give it one or two gentle stirs to finish. Let it cool slightly before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy your delicious homemade black soybean Jangjorim!
