Otogi Korean Plum Syrup 660g

Maesil-cheong (매실청), or Korean plum syrup, is a traditional sweet and tangy condiment made from green plums. This syrup from Otogi captures the distinctively fruity and slightly tart flavour of fresh maesil plums, balanced with a rich sweetness that makes it incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It is commonly used in Korean cuisine as a natural sweetener for marinades, dipping sauces, and dressings, adding a unique depth of flavour that sugar alone cannot provide. You can also mix it with cold water or sparkling water to create a refreshing plum-ade, a popular summer drink in Korea. For a simple salad dressing, whisk a spoonful of this plum syrup with soy sauce and a little vinegar. This syrup is a staple in many Korean households, valued for its ability to enhance both sweet and savoury dishes with its complex, fruity notes. It's an excellent pantry item for anyone exploring Korean cooking.
