Instructions

  1. 1

    Trim pepper stems and poke 1-2 holes with a fork so brine can penetrate.

  2. 2

    Boil soy sauce, water, rice syrup, kelp, and garlic for 4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Turn off heat, dissolve doenjang completely, then add vinegar.

  4. 4

    Strain the brine once for a cleaner finish.

  5. 5

    Pack peppers into a sterilized jar and pour in warm brine until submerged.

  6. 6

    Refrigerate for 1 day before eating; flavor deepens from day 3.

Tips

For less heat, replace 30% of Cheongyang peppers with mild crunchy peppers.
Doenjang saltiness varies, so start with 10% less and adjust to taste.
