Instructions

  1. Combine all finely minced ingredients in a jar, and ensure you have enough liquid to cover (if your liquid isn't enough, add a 1:2:4 ratio of oil-water-vinegar). Let sit in dark, cool area for at least 24 hours, and then refrigerate.

Notes

  • NOTE: Please do not blend your ingredients, and take care to chop very finely; it will ruin the texture of your aji.
