Oligodang (올리고당), or oligosaccharide syrup, is a popular Korean sweetener used as a healthier alternative to corn syrup or sugar in cooking. This syrup from CJ Baeksul is made from corn starch and has a milder sweetness than regular sugar, with a thick, glossy consistency that adds a beautiful sheen to dishes. It's an essential ingredient in many Korean recipes, particularly for stir-fries, glazes, and braised dishes where it helps to balance flavours and create a sticky, appealing texture. Use it to make the glaze for Korean fried chicken, sweeten braised potatoes (gamja jorim), or add a touch of sweetness to sauces and marinades. Unlike honey, its neutral flavour doesn't overpower other ingredients, making it a versatile pantry staple for anyone exploring Korean cuisine. It's also known for its prebiotic properties.
