Traditional Gamasot Flavor, 100% Handmade

[Nurung Shin] Organic Handmade Nurungji

For many Koreans, Nurungji holds a special place as comfort food.

Nurungji is the scorched rice bits that are leftover at the bottom after cooking rice in pots.

This layer of scorched rice is scraped off and enjoyed as a crunchy snack. Or they can be added to boiling water to create a nourishing nurungji porridge.

In earlier times in Korea, families cooked rice in iron cauldrons known as gamasots. These large pots featured a thick-bottom, ensuring even heat distribution that produced a uniformly scorched, golden-brown layer of nurungji!

It’s a flavor that’s hard to replicate - as nowadays, rice cookers are used.

But today, we introduce a handmade nurungji that has this traditional gamasot flavor!

Notably, this is the first nurungji product in Korea to earn the "artisan" distinction by the Korean government!

So how’s it made?

First, the rice is left to soak in cold water (-10ºC) for 24-hours to bring out its natural flavor. Afterwards, it’s fermented at room temperature for additional 24 hours for a smoother texture. Then the prepped rice is thoroughly washed and mixed with the right ratio of water.

Next, it’s spread in a circular motion and cooked on gamasot pots. After cooking at very high temp (450℃), the scorched rice is peeled off, cooled and broken into pieces before packaging.

Simple as that! No other ingredients - besides rice and water.

Free from MSG, preservatives, or food additives.

What we love about this nurungji is that there is no residual oily taste or smell. Many of the cheaper brands at Korean supermarkets are made by bulk-frying rice in oil - no good!

This handmade nurungji is available in 3 types:

Brown Rice Nurungji - made with 70% Korean White Rice + 30% Korean Glutinous Brown Rice - (MOST POPULAR)
White Rice Nurungji - made with 100% Korean White Rice - (TRADITIONAL FLAVOR)
Barley Rice Nurungji - made with 70% Korean White Rice + 30% Korean Barley - (MORE NUTRITIOUS)

How should I cook this?

Add a few pieces of nurungji to boiling water and simmer for 5-10 minutes. For a stronger flavor, add more pieces.

Nurungji porridge is a great option when you don’t have much of an appetite… or seek a simple and healthy meal that’s light on the stomach.

Kindly note that during shipping - some of the larger nurungji pieces within the bag might break into smaller pieces.
