기본 양념

The Korean pantry

Ganjang, vinegar, oils, and the two or three chili products you actually need.

Heat: n/a · Vegetarian: yes

Two soys

Yangjo ganjang is all-purpose. Guk-ganjang is lighter in color, sharper, for soups. Sesame oil is a finisher, not a deep-fry oil. Rice vinegar for muchim; brown sugar or oligodang for glaze. You do not need twenty sauces to cook from this hub.
