Product Description

Unlock the secret to authentic Korean flavor with Chungjungwon Anchovy Sauce Original.

Known in Korea as Myeolchi Aekjeot, this sauce is a staple in every Korean pantry. Made from fresh anchovies caught off the pristine Southern Coast of Namhae and naturally fermented, it delivers a complex, savory depth that salt or soy sauce simply cannot match.

While it is the #1 essential ingredient for making traditional Cabbage Kimchi, its uses go far beyond fermentation. A single tablespoon can transform a flat soup into a rich, savory masterpiece. It is perfect for seasoning blanched vegetables (Namul), adding punch to stir-fries, or creating deep, flavorful braises.

Experience the "Kamchil-mat" (mouth-watering umami) that defines delicious Korean cuisine

Key Features

  • Authentic Origin: Made with anchovies sourced from the clean waters of Namhae, South Korea

  • Deep Umami Flavor: naturally fermented to create a rich, salty, and savory profile that enhances any dish without overpowering it.
  • Kimchi Essential: The most important seasoning for making fresh, delicious Kimchi at home.

  • Versatile Seasoning: Excellent alternative to salt or soy sauce for soups (like Seaweed Soup/Miyeok-guk), stews, and side dishes

  • Large Value Size: 1kg bottle is perfect for bulk Kimchi making or frequent family cooking

How to Use

  1. Kimchi Making: Use as the primary salt and flavor agent when seasoning your Kimchi paste.

  2. Soup Base: Add 1–2 tablespoons to Seaweed Soup (Miyeok-guk) or Bean Sprout Soup for an instant depth of flavor.

  3. Vegetable Seasoning: Use a splash instead of salt when tossing blanched spinach or bean sprouts for authentic Korean side dishes (Namul).

  4. Stir-fries: Add a teaspoon to pork or seafood stir-fries to boost the savory notes
