The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing processed ginseng and processed ginseng manufactured thereby. The method for manufacturing processed ginseng according to the present invention comprises: a pre-processing step (S100) of harvesting and collecting fresh ginseng, and cutting and pre-processing a non-edible part thereof; a washing and drying step (S200) of washing and drying the pre-processed fresh ginseng; a sulfur fumigation step (S300) of steaming the dried fresh ginseng in sulfur smoke, and washing the same; a fermentation bacillus inoculating step (S400) of spraying a mineral and a lactic acid bacteria culture solution onto the washed fresh ginseng after the sulfur fumigation, and inoculating the same; a fermenting step (S500) of fermenting the fresh ginseng inoculated with the mineral and the lactic acid bacteria culture solution; a steaming and aging step (S600) of manufacturing red ginseng or black ginseng by heating, steaming and aging the fermented fresh ginseng by using any one selected from paraffin or edible oil; and a low-temperature aging drying step (S700) of manufacturing processed ginseng by aging the red ginseng or black ginseng at a low temperature. According to the present invention, red ginseng or black ginseng is manufactured by including a process of steaming fresh ginseng by using any one selected from paraffin or edible oil instead of water, thereby preventing loss of nutritional ingredients due to leakage of resin of fresh ginseng involved in a conventional steaming process, and manufacturing processed ginseng capable of increasing external competitiveness of red ginseng or black ginseng due to high content of ginsenoside.
