Mulyeot (물엿), often known as Korean rice malt syrup, is a traditional liquid sweetener used extensively in Korean cuisine. This syrup from Daesang O'Food has a thick, viscous consistency similar to corn syrup but with a subtle, malty sweetness that is less overpowering than refined sugar. It provides a beautiful glaze and a gentle sweetness, making it a key ingredient for adding shine and balancing flavours in many dishes. Use it to make the glossy sauce for tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), as a glaze for braised chicken or ribs, or to sweeten homemade gochujang. A small amount can also be added to stir-fries or marinades to create a perfect sheen and a hint of sweetness. This versatile ingredient is a staple in any Korean pantry, essential for achieving the authentic taste and appearance of classic recipes. It is suitable for vegans.
