Sempio Guk-ganjang Soup Soy Sauce 860ml

Guk-ganjang (국간장), or soup soy sauce, is a traditional Korean condiment made from fermented soybeans and brine. Lighter in colour but saltier and more complex in flavour than all-purpose soy sauce, it is specifically designed to season soups and stews without darkening the broth. Its distinct, savoury umami depth comes from a longer fermentation process, a hallmark of authentic Korean soy sauces. Use it to season classic Korean soups like miyeok-guk (seaweed soup) or galbitang (short rib soup), adding a rich flavour base with just a small amount. A little goes a long way, so add it incrementally to your cooking, tasting as you go. This type of soy sauce is a fundamental ingredient in any Korean pantry, essential for achieving the genuine taste of home-cooked Korean meals.
