Checkpoints before requesting for service Chungukjang is not fermented 46 Check ֯ Did you adequately soak the soybeans in water and boiled them completely? ֯ Did you cool down the soybeans before putting them in the drawer left compartment of the refrigerator? ֯ Did you open the door during fermenting? ֯ Did the water drops from the cover of the tray fall? ֯ Did you use imported or old soybeans? ֯ Did the resin (bacteria) form? Resolution ֯ Soak the soybeans (Baktae) in the water for 10 to 14 hours and then completely boil them for 5 to 6 hours until the water becomes sticky. Completely boiled beans maintain the shape but will be easily crushed. (Refer to page 34 for details on How to make delicious Chungukjang) ֯ If you put in the boiled beans without cooling them down, they will be too humid to be fermented and will cause an irritating smell. Cool down the boiled beans in room temperature for about 15 minutes and then mix them by shaking the tray before putting them in the compartment. ֯ If you open the door during fermenting, the humidity and temperature can change affecting the fermenting process. ֯ When the dew drops from the cover of the tray falls on the beans during the fermenting process of Chungukjang, the sticky resin (bacteria) on the Chungukjang melts. Therefore when open/closing the drawer or when removing the tray, be careful not to shake it. ֯ Some imported or old soybeans are processed with preservatives. If you use these soybeans the bacillus will not be active to start fermenting the beans. Use domestic soybeans (Baktae). ֯ The condition of the completely fermented Chungukjang differs by the quality of soybean, cooked level and fermenting process. Successfully fermented Chungukjang has the following characteristics. - There is no resin but the surface of the bean turned white. - Where there is resin that forms strings and disappear - When the resin is sticky like pizza cheese
