Hello, it's getting colder day by day, so I made it easy to make jocheong with dried jujubes, which are good for preventing colds and boosting immunity. I hope our cooking video was helpful when making jocheong with jujubes. ⑴ Dried jujube jocheong recipe ① Dried jujube preparation First, you need to wash 1kg of dried jujubes cleanly. There may be foreign substances in the curly skin of dried jujubes. So soak them in vinegar water for 10 minutes, then wash them in clean water and prepare. ② Soak glutinous rice and malt syrup. Since you need to make sticky rice, soak 900g of glutinous rice for 10 minutes, then put 400g of malt syrup in a cotton cloth, add water, and soak for 30 minutes. It would be good to buy a double-layered cotton cloth or to use a double-layered needle. This is good because the cotton cloth is a bit tight, so the malt syrup or residue won't leak out, but sometimes the malt syrup doesn't come out well because it doesn't knead well. In that case, place the cotton cloth on a strainer and press firmly. Press to squeeze out the water. It will come out well. Then, squeeze it tightly to finish. So, I recommend that you put it in a cotton cloth and soak it in water. If there is any residue left in the jocheong, the residue may splash out when you try to finish the jocheong and fail. So, please filter it well. ③ Boil the jujubes ※ 3L of water Pour 3L of water into a pressure cooker and boil the soaked dried jujubes. Since the jujubes are dry, they will be small, but the boiled noodles will be large. However, since dried jujubes have little moisture, not much jujube water comes out. So, pour a lot of water. Then, put the jujubes in the pressure cooker and boil them. When the pressure paper turns, boil them for 10 to 15 minutes more. You have to boil them thoroughly. If they are not cooked enough, you can add water and boil them again. A rice cooker takes longer. I recommend a pressure cooker. You can let the boiled jujubes cool. Let the boiled jujubes cool. When the boiled jujubes have cooled, strain them in a colander. Also, when the sikhye water is finished, strain them in a strainer and beat them. Even though it is a hassle, you must filter it well so that the jocheong does not fail. ④ Making sikhye with malt syrup ※ 2 tablespoons of sugar Make glutinous rice with soaked glutinous rice and drain the malt syrup. It is convenient to soak the malt syrup powder used for making gochujang or sweet rice 30 minutes before the glutinous rice or rice is cooked and pour it, but it is less nutritious than malt syrup, so please note. Beat the malt syrup and squeeze it tightly to drain the malt syrup water. The cotton cloth is tight and may not drain well. In that case, press it through a strainer to drain the malt syrup water. Once the glutinous rice is made, strain it through a strainer to remove any impurities or residue and pour it. Pour the malt syrup water and add sugar. Then, the sikhye will ferment quickly. Please note that the fermentation time of the sikhye will be shortened by half. Please keep it warm for 4 hours in that state to make sikhye. ⑤ Strain the boiled dried jujubes. Crush the cooled dried jujubes first and drain them through a strainer. Strain the water and put the dried fruits in a separate cheesecloth. The dried date fruits in the cheesecloth will be pounded to extract the juice from the shikhye water. This way, you can make the jocheong without adding more water. Set aside the dried date water and later combine it with the filtered shikhye water. ⑥ Combine the dried date water after the shikhye is complete. Once the shikhye is complete, check by pressing it with a grain of rice. If it is well-crushed, it is well-fermented. Once checked, strain the dried date fruits in a sieve and press hard to extract the shikhye water. And for the jocheong, use all the upper and lower parts of the malt syrup. So, pour it all in without any sediment. Pound it with the shikhye water to some extent. When it is not well pounded with the cheesecloth, strain it with the sieve and press hard. This will make it easier to filter. Then, put the dried date fruits in a cheesecloth and squeeze the dried date water from the shikhye water to extract the jujube juice. You can do this while adding water, but it will not only increase the boiling time, but also the amount. So, recycle the water that comes out. Pour some of the dried date fruits. If you beat the dried radish with the sikhye water, put it in a sieve, and press down with a cotton cloth, it will be filtered easily. The beaten dried radish needs to be poured back into the sikhye water, so strain it and finish filtering it. There are still jujube residues, so strain it. Similarly, strain the water from the jujubes and add it to the sikhye water. If you don’t filter it well, the long-time recipe may fail, so filter it several times, even if it’s a hassle. ⑦ Making the jocheong First, start boiling the jocheong water over high heat. Boil over high heat. When it first boils, just skim off the foam. Continue to boil until it thickens. After about 2 hours on high heat, if it boils bubbling, it’s done. If there are a lot of dried radish or residues when it boils, it may splatter and fail. From then on, reduce the heat to low and stir it well once every 30 minutes so that it doesn’t stick and burn. Stir it gently once every 30 minutes so that it doesn’t stick and the jujube jocheong is ready. It's done. If you use the water that you kept in a small amount of water, the boiling time will be reduced and the thick jocheong will be completed. Now turn off the heat, let it cool, and then pour it. You can store it in the refrigerator or a cool place, whichever is better. When I tasted it, it became a jocheong with the unique sweetness and bitterness of jujubes. Let it cool a little and then pour it into a small glass bottle and share it as a gift to your relatives, acquaintances, or parents, or I recommend eating it in the morning and evening.
