［About Koji Seasonings］🌾

I often use homemade koji seasonings in my cooking.

If you don’t have them, here are some easy substitutes:

• Salt Koji 1 tbsp → 1/2–2/3 tsp salt
• Onion Koji 1 tbsp → 1 tsp bouillon powder
• Soy Sauce Koji 1 tbsp → 1 tbsp soy sauce

Please feel free to adjust to your taste 😊

◻︎If you’d like to make your own koji seasonings, I shared a video here:
