Mulyeot (물엿), often known as Korean rice syrup or corn syrup, is a staple sweetener in Korean cuisine. This clear, thick syrup from CJ Baeksul has a subtle sweetness and a smooth consistency, making it different from granulated sugar as it adds a distinct glossy sheen to dishes without crystallising. It is primarily used to add a beautiful glaze to braised dishes like dakgangjeong (sweet crispy chicken) or to balance flavours in marinades for bulgogi and galbi. For a simple application, stir a spoonful into stir-fry sauces or dipping sauces to provide a gentle sweetness and a sticky texture that helps the sauce cling to ingredients. It's also a key component in making traditional Korean sweets and snacks, known as hangwa. This syrup is an essential pantry item for anyone looking to recreate authentic Korean flavours at home, particularly for classic glazed and braised recipes. Contains WHEAT.
