koreancookery1-1, Challenge 3: Ssamjang notes

Model answer (a sample note; yours will differ):

"I preferred 2 parts doenjang to 1 gochujang: the doenjang gave a savoury base and the gochujang added heat and sweetness without taking over. Equal parts was too sweet and hot for plain cucumber; 1 doenjang to 2 gochujang was mostly a sweet-hot paste. Raw garlic stirred in straight away was sharp; letting it rest 10 minutes in the sesame oil made it a little milder (or: I could not tell the difference). Next time I would use half the garlic and add a squeeze of lemon."

The point is to taste, compare and write down what you notice. Amounts in this course are the author's starting points, not tested recipes.
