After 30 minutes, remove from heat and allow it to rest for 20 minutes for the pressure to release. Open the cooker and mix well. If the gojju is little watery, simmer on stove for 5 minutes to thicken up. You can see that the gojju is perfectly cooked without any char at the bottom.

You can freeze the gojju in the freezer for up to 2 months.
