Notes
*Fat washed Bacon Soju
Fat washing is infusing liquor with the flavour of fat (bacon, sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut butter, etc.). The base spirit retains the flavour minus the fat.
To make fat-infused soju, we need:
- 1 pound thick-cut bacon – good quality
- 750 ml of distilled soju
- Cook the bacon until it’s crispy, remove it from the pan and let it cool.
- Strain the bacon fat into a separate container; we need it for the infusion.
- Pour the soju into a large container.
- Add the bacon fat to the container with the soju and stir it, ensuring the bacon is completely submerged in the liquid.
- Let it sit for a few hours, then put it into the freezer until the fat solidifies and can easily be skimmed off.
- Use a fine-mesh filter to strain out the bacon fat and any solid bacon bits.
- The spirit will retain the flavours of the fat even after you’ve done the skimming.
- Pour the strained bacon soju into a clean bottle when needed.
