- 3 bunches scallions (green onions), about 15-18 qty, weighing 400g/14 oz.
- 120g peeled garlic (about 3 bulbs)
- 80g fresh ginger (about a 4-5 inch/10-15cm piece size)
- 2 fluid ounces/60ml tamari or soy sauce
- 1.5 cup/350 ml by volume, 150g by weight coarse red pepper powder (gochugaru)
- (Optional) 2 Tbsp./30ml fish sauce or 2 or 3 canned anchovies
Instructions
- Peel then roughly chop the garlic. You can smash it to help remove the paper, but I prefer the flavor if it is kept intact.
- Scrub ginger to remove dirt. If organic, you can leave skin on. Otherwise, peel ginger with a spoon. Roughly chop ginger.
- Cut root ends from scallions (about 1 inch from end), and slice them (white and green parts) into ½ inch (1 cm) pieces.
- Add scallions, ginger, and garlic to a blender or the work bowl of a food processor. For a food processor with a 7 to 10 cup bowl or smaller, you’ll likely need multiple batches.
- Add pepper powder and tamari/soy sauce.
- Start the food processor, and mix altogether until a thick paste forms and it “rolls” together when the machine is running. (You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times). You may also need to add a little extra tamari to adjust the texture.
- Transfer the paste into an airtight wide-mouth mason jar. Cover tightly and store in refrigerator until you’re ready to paste up some veggies.
- Paste lasts in the refrigerator up to 3 months.
