On this day, participants learned about and directly experienced the traditional Korean food culture through ‘Jang Making,’ designated as National Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 137.

This event was organized to promote local food and traditional culture. Together with marriage migrant women, they learned about the benefits of soybeans, tips for selecting good Meju, and practiced adjusting the saltwater concentration, placing Meju in jars, covering the Jangdok (fermentation pots), and how to store and manage them.

In particular, the soy sauce butter cookie cooking practice, which is an easy snack recipe using Jang in daily life, received a positive response from participants.

The Jang made on this day will later be divided and scooped to make doenjang (soybean paste) and ganjang (soy sauce), which will be shared with neighbors in need within the community.
