ChungJungOne Plum Extract Syrup 650g

Maesil-cheong (매실청), or Korean plum extract, is a traditional sweet and tangy syrup made from green plums. This versatile condiment from ChungJungOne captures the unique fruity tartness of Korean plums, balanced with a rich sweetness that makes it a staple in Korean kitchens. It is commonly used to add a complex, fruity depth to marinades for meat like bulgogi, as a base for salad dressings, or to sweeten dipping sauces. You can also simply mix it with hot or cold water to create a refreshing plum tea, a popular beverage in Korea. For a simple vinaigrette, whisk one part plum extract with two parts soy sauce and a touch of sesame oil. This syrup is an essential pantry item for anyone looking to explore authentic Korean flavours, adding a natural sweetness and tang to both savoury dishes and drinks.
