This recipe have two parts: first is for the paste, and second is for the whole dish.

If you buy the paste you can skip to the second part!
You can buy it here: https://amzn.to/2Ni9si4

PART 1 :
Black paste ingredients: (good for 2 serving)
water
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp flour
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp molasses
1 tbsp dark miso paste
food coloring

In a small pot, melt sugar with 1/8 cup water on low heat until you get a dark caramel. when its dark and smoky add another 1/8 cup of water, take it of the stove and let it cool down.

In a small bowl add 1/8 cup water with slat and flour, mix well and add the soy sauce, molasses and miso. mis it all and when the caramel water are not hot add it too.

In a small non-stick pan add this mixture and cook it on low heat while stirring well untiil it's got thickened. Put it back in the bowl and stir it until its cooling down a bit.

Now you have the paste, you can use it as it is and get the same dish in a light brown caramel color. But if you want it black as it's in koreea so add food coloring. 2 drops of extra black with 1 drop of chesnut brown are enough for getting the color we want. If you have caramel food coloring just use it, it's the best option.

You can double the amount of the ingredients and save it your fridge and use it whenever you want. It will last for months.
And the flavor ill gwt better and better.
