The E-jen Kimchi container is widely loved in Korea as the best modern container for fermenting and storing kimchi and jang (Korean fermented sauces). It is also great for other foods requiring airtight storage, such as fresh vegetables, coffee beans, bread, seaweed, cookies, cereals, grains and even dry pet foods.

The E-jen Kimchi container combines the ancient Korean Onggi (breathing earthenware) principle with modern, easy-to-use technology.

Onggi, Korean earthenware, dates back to 57 BC when it was first used to store various foods. It is referred to as the “breathing pot” because of its unique porosity, and it is known as an excellent vessel for fermented foods like kimchi, pickles and jang (Korean fermented sauces). Although Onggi is amazing in many ways, it is difficult to use in a modern home environment because it is very heavy, difficult to clean and awkward to keep in the fridge. The E-jen container was developed to solve all those problems, while maintaining the age-old ingenuity and usefulness of Onggi.

The container is made from high quality durable polypropylene plastic mixed with 7-10% natural clay for optimal porosity (*clay content only for sandy brown colored containers). Like Onggi, the container has very fine pores which allow minimal air flow. This keeps the food fresh while preventing aerobic bacteria from thriving. 

The simple yet brilliant design of the inner vacuum lid allows easy adjustment of the lid position according to the level of food. So regardless of the amount of food, the container induces an anaerobic environment in which the beneficial bacteria (lactic acid producing bacteria) thrive and the crunchy texture and vibrant color are maximized. The carbon dioxide released by lactic acid producing bacteria is absorbed back to the kimchi juice, creating a more refreshing taste.

In the old days, Koreans used large outer leaves of napa cabbage to cover the surface of kimchi to prevent molds. Today many Koreans use cling wrap instead. For kimchi with liquid, the old practice was to use large flat rocks to keep the vegetables in the liquid. The inner vacuum lid of the E-jen container now does the job of the leaves and the rocks, protecting the surface of the food where harmful aerobic bacteria tend to grow, and preventing pickles in the liquid from floating. 

Although the smell of kimchi is the result of healthy bacteria producing lactic acid, it can be quite powerful. The E-jen container's double lids contain the smell better than most containers, preventing the smell from filling the kitchen or the fridge.

The E-jen container is easy to handle and clean. It fits well in the fridge or freezer. It is dishwasher safe and heat/cold resistant (can handle hot water). You can use it in the microwave without the lids. It is free of BPA, DEHP and lead. All components are made with materials that are FDA approved.

Behind Story

The E-jen container was invented by Sung Chul Hong, an engineer with a creative spirit and passion. During his early teen years, Mr. Hong moved to a city from the countryside for better education.  Like many Korean students in the early 70's who lived away from home, he always had a few jars of homemade jang (Korean fermented sauces) his mom made. He noticed that after a while molds often developed on the surface of the jang. He didn't want his mother's precious food to go to waste. So during his college years he started covering the surface with a plastic sheet and found it to be effective in preventing molds. (Back then, using plastic wraps for jang was not a common practice.) He even told his mother about it, and she started doing the same and loved it. 

After he graduated and then following a few business experiences, he remembered his inspiration regarding jang and was determined to develop a container that was perfect for it. With the help of his food scientist friends, and after two years of research and development, he created a patented container that combined Korean ancient wisdom with modern technology. Not surprisingly, the container gained popularity among many Koreans, who then began using it for many other things beyond kimchi and jang. Mr. Hong has found fulfillment in the impact of his work on the lives of many Korean mothers, among others.  And he hopes to continue doing so as his innovative ideas have not ceased to this day.

The Premium Korean Stone Bowl is a ceramic stoneware product made from fine clay. Stoneware, by definition, is a ceramic which is fired at about 1,100 °C (2,010 °F) to 1,300 °C (2,370 °F) and glazed. Stone bowl is the common North American name for this type of bowl. It is a direct translation of Dolsot in Korean, most commonly associated with the popular Korean sizzling rice dish Dolsot Bibimbap.

Stone bowls are made to be porous in order to retain heat longer. However, lower quality ceramic stone bowls and stone bowls made of natural stone are permeable to water also. This means dish detergent or other materials can enter and remain in the pores, making these bowls unsanitary. The Premium Korean Stone Bowl is much more sanitary as it has finer pores that minimize the water penetration. It is still breathable, however, because it is made with finer clay and glaze-fired twice using natural glaze. Also, the Premium Stone Bowl is far more durable and long-lasting compared to most common stone bowls.

Sun-dried chili peppers (taeyangcho) are more vibrant in color and retain more nutrients and flavor than machine-dried chili peppers.

About artisan UK Kang and the art of jang-making:

Artisan Uk Kang dedicated the past two decades of his life to the art of fermentation. With the know-how he inherited from a jang expert in the 90's, Uk Kang created the foundation for Wholly Jang from traditional jang-making artistry honed for over 40 years. Uk Kang currently lives in the U.S. pursuing his passion to grow a global appreciation for artisanal Korean jang and authentic Korean cuisine. His dream is to propagate the traditional jang fermentation method into the next generation and beyond, since the traditional way is slowly disappearing with industrialization.

Wholly Jang is not completely shackled by strict tradition, though. From that classic foundation, Uk Kang is continuously developing new varieties of jang. Each creative twist captures the essence of traditional jang, while carving a leading edge in the evolving landscape of global food culture, and always maximizing health benefits.

He notes that the reason manufacturers shy away from the traditional jang-making method is that it requires much more attention, effort and fermentation time. Traditional jang is fermented with many strands of natural bacteria, whereas factory-made jang is fermented with artificially cultivated bacteria for faster production and easier quality control. So, factory-made jang may have a consistent taste, but it does not embody the deep complex flavors of the traditional jang. Traditional jang, however, must be made in a clean environment and with consistent monitoring, to ensure good quality and taste. Experienced jang artisans like Uk Kang are able to distinguish beneficial bacteria from unwanted microorganisms, which cause unpleasant flavors and smell. They know how to take care of jang even with changes in climate and surroundings. A genuine love and passion for jang, along with years of hard work and patience, are necessary to achieve the kind of artisan expertise which created Wholly Jang.

Wholly Ganjang is made with three wholesome ingredients and fermented with love and care. Many soy sauces in the market are full of corn syrup, MSG and contain wheat. Wholly Ganjang, on the other hand, embodies a deep, profound flavor that results from natural fermentation, without the sharpness that most common soy sauces have. Wholly Ganjang is a traditional Korean soy sauce which is richer and saltier than common soy sauces on the market. So, smaller amounts should be used to season food.
