Into the book
For Jeongwoljang, if you put one mal of meju into one stone bowl of water, the color of soy sauce will be good.
One teaspoon of salt per bucket of water (about 9 liters) is enough.
Dissolve the salt water a day in advance and sieve it through a fine sieve. Sweep the meju cleanly with a brush and place it in a crock, then pour in the salt water.
Pour in all the water, add a few whole red peppers, break up the charcoal into small pieces, heat it red hot, add three or four pieces, and add a few jujubes.
It will float after about 50 days of pickling.
Even before it gets hot, after three days, open it every day before meals and cover it in the evening.
Wrap the jar with something like Munpo (a hemp cloth imported from the Chaemun region of China) or Mokasa and tie it up.
And sometimes the chapter opens and sometimes it doesn't.
Pour the broth into a pot and bring to a boil, then skim off the foam.

In other words, the method of storage varies depending on the region and circumstances, and many different ingredients are added to the storage.

Publisher's Review
This book was published by Gwanghan Publishing in 1939.
At that time, there were Korean cookbooks such as "Joseon Cooking Recipe" and "Joseon Musang Shinsik Cooking Recipe" (1924) by Professor Bang Shin-yeong of the Department of Home Economics at Ewha Womans University, which were the first modern cookbooks published in 1917, and "Easy Joseon Cooking Recipe" (1934) by Lee Seok-man. However, "Joseon Cooking Recipe" by Jo Ja-ho was well-received by the public as a book that focused on traditional cooking methods of our food.

The contents are 33 sections including gomyeong (10 kinds), meju (2), various soy sauces (9), various powders (6), kimchi (6), fresh kimchi and kimchi for drinking (13), cold soup (4), vegetables (16), pickled vegetables (10), braised dishes (14), raw vegetables (8), ganap (21), japchae (6), jangguk (14), hwachae (16), jaban and po (19), hoe (25), grilled food (24), jochi (9), porridge (8), tojangguk (9), tteok (27), jeongol (12), yaksik and assorted pyeon (11), clear soy sauce soup (19), guja (sinseongro) and jjim (10), mieum and yangjeop (5), jeonggwa (10), ssam (3), raw fish and uggi (4), jeotgal (8), etc., for a total of 425 items including 67 items added in Appendix 1. It introduces Korean cooking methods in detail, and at the end of the book, it describes how to serve food with side dishes, how to divide food according to the season, how to complement food, and food etiquette.

The most distinctive feature of this book is that it was written in the oral Korean style of the 1930s, allowing the public to easily learn the recipes for the yangban cuisine and royal court cuisine, the essence of our traditional cuisine that was on the verge of being lost from the late Joseon Dynasty to the Japanese colonial period.

This provided an important opportunity for the food culture of the Joseon Dynasty's nobility and royal court, centered around Seoul, to be inherited and preserved in popular culture to this day.
The fact that he compiled this cookbook at the age of 28 also demonstrates the genius of the author, Jo Ja-ho.

This book is not only valuable as a historical source on the history of Korean cooking, but it is also a literary resource that vividly shows the state of Korean expression in the late Japanese colonial period.
Another unique feature of this book is that it uses as many Korean expressions as possible, which are as colorful and beautiful as the food itself, and it is written in an easy-to-understand way, as if you were talking to someone in the kitchen and teaching them how to cook, using your own body and mind.

Our country's traditional cookbooks include Jeon Sun-ui's "Sangayorok (山家要錄)" from the mid-1400s during the reign of King Sejo of the Joseon Dynasty, Kim Yu's "Suunjapbang (需雲雜方)" from around 1540 during the reign of King Jungjong, Heo Gyun's "Domundaejak (屠門大嚼)", Jang Gye-hyang's "Eumsikdimibang (靨閤叢書)", Bingheogak Lee's "Gyuhapchongseo (閨閤叢書)", Seo Yu-gu's "Imwongyeongjeji (林園經濟志)" among others, and "Siuijeonseo (是議全書)" by Banga (班家) women from Sangju, Gyeongbuk, etc., but Jo Ja-ho's "Joseon Cooking Method" contains the spirit and culture of cooking of our ancestors contained in the hundreds of years of tradition of these old cookbooks. It will be said that it has been inherited and revealed again.
