For those that are unfamiliar, it's kind of like natto. But, Koreans like to use this in soup. While the soup has a really strong smell, I love it! I really missed having this soup and they don't sell cheongukjang locally.
I decided to do it myself following a recipe I got off Maangchi's website.
I thought I'd do a trial run using about a pound of soybeans. I soaked the beans for 24 hours, boiled them on low heat for 3.5 hours, spread them out on a traditional straw Korean strainer tray, covered and let it ferment in an electric heating mat for 2 days! And voila! It worked!

Niiiiiice! That looks so good!
My gma would make that.. . For breakfast! My bro would just skip breakfast and spray glade and walk to school on purpose so he’d smell less.
I’d eat it and go bc idgaf about the smell 🤪
