Fusion Spicy Edible Bean Glue 炒辣豆酱



How did this Fusion Spicy Bean Paste 炒辣豆酱 come about? Like I'll live on explaining inward my adjacent post, this unique concoction was created because I realised that I ran out of the essential Gochujang when I was virtually to gain the Korean Spicy Chicken Stew (Dakdoritang). I needed a glue to gain the stew. It would non brand economical feel for me to drive a distance to purchase a bottle in addition to I was running out of time. Furthermore, there's no means for me to brand my ain Gochujang every bit the authentic Gochujang has to undergo a fermenting procedure over a menses of time. With much deliberation, I idea it would live on easier to troubleshoot alongside whatsoever ingredients I had on hand. 

Having dug through my fridge in addition to pantry, I establish the Korean edible bean paste. I knew I had by in addition to large South East Asian or Chinese spices at home. Since the dish was meant to live on spicy, I idea I could give the Korean edible bean glue a local twist past times combining it alongside local finds such every bit sambal shrimps in addition to chili pulverization or paprika. As I'd similar to bring a nutty experience inward this comfort dish, crushed nuts were included.



Ingredients (enough for a jam sized jar) :
  • 3-4 tbsp  of Koren edible bean paste
  • 2 tbsp apple tree cider vinegar 
  • 3 tbsp crispy sambal shrimps
  • 2-3 tbsp chili pulverization or paprika pulverization (subject to how spicy you lot desire your glue to be)
  • 2-3 tbsp rice wine
  • 2 tbsp crushed nuts
  • 1 tbsp brownish sugar
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

(tsp = teaspoon; tbsp = tablespoon) 


Method :
  1. Combine all ingredients (except cooking oil) into a bowl in addition to blend good alongside chopsticks.
  2. Heat pot/saucepan alongside cooking oil. 
  3. At depression heat, plication inward the edible bean glue in addition to spice mix.
  4. Give mixture a quick stir fry. Take banknote non to burn downward the paste.
  5. Turn off oestrus when glue thickens in addition to emits aroma. 
  6. Allow glue to cool downward completely earlier storage into sterilised jars. 









In comparing to authentic Gochujang, my Fusion Spicy Bean Paste 炒辣豆酱粉 was drier in addition to had a to a greater extent than coarse texture due to the inclusion of crushed nuts. The edible bean glue fragrance was nevertheless prevalent in addition to nobody would dubiety it beingness a spicy edible bean paste. Maybe this fourth dimension it deviated only a picayune alongside some local twists.
