Wow! You have it down!! I’m so happy that you are going to make Dotorimuk with my recipe – don’t forget that the powder to water ratio varies so you may need to experiment a bit to find the correct ratio for your homemade powder. enjoy and thank you!

Like Anphlo, I live near Oak Trees and am in awe of their productivity and generosity. And I, too, was delighted to see this recipe from half-way around the World. I have been emulating the processing techniques developed by Pacific Northwest Indigenous people over millennia.
I gather acorns in the Fall, culling any infested by the weevil, and then drying the sound acorns sufficiently for storage. For use, I crack and shell enough for my immediate purpose. I then run them through the Corona mill, producing a coarse meal. From this point, I put them in my half-gallon sprouting jar and, over the course of 3-4 days, leach most of the tannins by many changes of water. The water becomes clearer and clearer, and the tasted samples become less ans less astringent as the process proceeds. While the leached meal is still moist, I have been adding a small portion (~25% ) to my porridge.
With Jin Joo’s exciting recipe, I may dry the meal and then run it through the Corona mill again to produce the Acorn Powder.
Anphlo, let’s keep exploring the Dotorimuk-from-scratch recipe, with gratitude to the Oak Trees and to our Teacher, Jin Joo !

Thank you so much!! Just fyi, you should find out how to make the acorn powder – acorns naturally have some toxins in them and you need to process them correctly to remove them before you make the jelly. Cheers!

Hi Agape, Sorry for the confusion. As I mentioned in the notes, each package of Dotorimuk varies in weight and thus the water-to-powder ratio. I just tested 2 different powders I have and on one 3/4 cup is indeed 100g and on another one 1 cup is about 100g.. but I should have mentioned that and made the correction on them. So unfortunately you will have to rely on the package instructions and/or do a couple tries to see what ratio works for you. Thank you for asking!

Aww.. thank you! Yes, acorns does have a bit of a bitter after taste so small children probably won’t like it. But thank you soo much for the 5 stars and sharing the story with me. Love it.

I don’t see any pictures but of course, 100g acorn powder is about 3/4 cup. But as I noted in the notes, every powder has a different water:powder ratio ( 6:1 to 4.5:1 ) so I would recommend that you try it out and try to get the right thickness – you can watch video for that. BTW, if you join my Facebook Group – https://www.facebook.com/groups/kimchimari/, you can post pictures, ask questions about anything related to Korean food and cooking. I have about 16K members right now and it’s a great community that loves to help each other. Cheers!
