SOUP SOY SAUCE

Listing description
Soup soy sauce is a type of Korean soy sauce (ganjang) made entirely of fermented soybean(meju) and brine. It is also a byproduct of doenjang production.
Detailed description
Both lighter in colour and saltier than other Korean ganjang varieties, soup soy sauce is used mainly in guk(soup) and namul(seasoned vegetable dish) in modern Korean cuisine.

Names[edit]

Soup soy sauce is called by many different names due to its complicated status changes in relation with other types of Korean soy sauces. In English speaking world, it is most commonly known as soup soy sauce,[2] which is a direct translation of guk-ganjang.
·         Hansik ganjang (Korean: 한식 간장) – "Korean-style soy sauce" is a name used by Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.[3][4]
·         Jaeraesik ganjang (Korean: 재래식 간장) – "traditional soy sauce" is a name used for soup soy sauce when compared to gaeryang ganjang(Korean: 개량 간장, "modernized soy sauce"), which is now the most widely used (and considered "regular") type of soy sauce in modern Korean cuisine.
·         Joseon-ganjang (Korean: 조선간장) – "Joseon soy sauce" is a name used for soup soy sauce, when compared to Wae-ganjang (Korean: 왜간장, "Wae soy sauce"). The term Wae soy sauce is used to refer to modernized gaeryang ganjang, which was introduced to Korea during the era of Japanese forced occupation.
·         Guk-ganjang (Korean: 국간장) – The name "soup soy sauce" is used because in modern Korean cuisine it is used mainly for soup. Also, it is the name used by many popular soy sauce brands such as Sempio, Chung Jung One (Daesang), and Beksul (CJ Cheil Jedang).
·         Jip-ganjang (Korean: 집간장) – "home soy sauce" is a name used for homebrewed soup soy sauce.

History

The earliest soy sauce brewing in Korea seem to have begun prior to the era of the Three Kingdoms.[5] The Records of the Three Kingdoms, a Chinese historical text written and published in the 3rd century, mentions that "Goguryeo people are good at brewing fermented soy beans." in the section named Dongyi (Eastern foreigners), in the Book of Wei.[6][7] Jangdoks used for soy sauce brewing are found in the mural paintings of Anak Tomb No.3 from the 4th century Goguryeo.[8]
In Samguk Sagi, a historical record of the Three Kingdoms era, it is written that ganjang and doenjang along with meju and jeotgal were prepared for the wedding ceremony of the King Sinmun in February 683.[9] Sikhwaji, a section from Goryeosa (History of Goryeo), recorded that ganjang and doenjang were included in the relief supplies in 1018, after a Khitan invasion, and in 1052, when a famine occurred.[10] Joseon texts such as Guhwangchwaryo and Jeungbo sallim gyeongje contain the detailed procedures on how to brew good quality ganjang and doenjang.[5] Gyuhap chongseo explains how to pick a date for brewing, what to forbear, and how to keep and preserve ganjang and doenjang.

Types

Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's Food Code classifies hansik ganjang into two categories by their ingredients.[3][4]
·         Jaerae-hansik-ganjang (Korean: 재래한식간장, "traditional Korean-style soy sauce") – soy sauce made with traditional style meju and brine.
·         Gaeryang-hansik-ganjang (Korean: 개량한식간장, "modernized Korean-style soy sauce") – soy sauce made with non-traditional meju (which can be made of regular soybean, rice, barley, wheat or degreased soybean, and ripened using traditional method or aspergillus) and saline solution.
Depending on the length of aging, hansik ganjang can be divided into three main varieties: clear, middle, and dark.
·         Haet-ganjang(Korean: 햇간장, "new soy sauce") – soy sauce aged for a year. Also called cheongjang(Korean: 청장(淸醬), "clear soy sauce").
·         Jung-ganjang(Korean: 중간장, "middle soy sauce") – soy sauce aged for three to four years.
·         Jin-ganjang(Korean: 진간장(津간醬), "dark soy sauce") – soy sauce aged for more than five years. Also called jinjang(Korean: 진장(陳醬), "aged soy sauce"), nongjang(Korean: 농장(濃醬), "thick soy sauce"), or jingamjang(Korean: 진감장(陣甘醬), "aged mature soy sauce").
