Amazing Korean Side Dishes

Gangjin , Located at the bottom of Korea

I went to Gangjin with my husband for business.

Gangjin is located in Jeolla-do, south of Korea.

We arrived at Gangjin after running from my house for an hour

and 40 minutes.

 

It was my husband's job.

I was in the car while he was working.

It was done quickly.

We were very hungry after working.

 

My husband searched the Internet and found that briquette bulgogi

is famous here.

 

It's right there!!  Go go go.

Big pig characters were everywhere in front of the restaurants.

Isn't this really cute?

Bulgogi is a Korean-style marinated meat dish.

Most Koreans like this dish.

There were some  guests in the restaurant because it was late lunch.

There are several pressure rice cookers.

It is useful to provide a good and sticky rice.

It is different from cooking rice in another pot.

One pot is for one person.

Very special.

detailed explanation

Let me explain the silver pot.

a nurungji cook

It's hot, so open the lid carefully.

Move the rice in the pot to an empty bowl with a spoon.

Leave the nurungji on the bottom.

Nurungji is a burnt rice under the pot.

 

I sometimes enjoy it crispy by scratching without pouring water.

Pour warm water provided by the restaurant into enough

to cover the nurungji and close the lid.

Don't pour too much water.

Today's main character is briquette bulgogi.

It tastes like fire, as its name suggests.

The fire taste is actually cooked on fire.

It was cooked on a briquette fire.

It tastes better than just bulgogi.

Today's main dish with onions.

This is slices of raw skate fish.

It's a raw fermented fish.

Especially, it is eaten in Jeolla Province.

It tastes better than you thought.

A special raw skate only in Korea.

Soy Sauce Marinated Crab.

We call this a rice thief.

It means that I eat a lot of rice because it is delicious. ^^

It's a little salty.

Some people eat it as a red pepper paste.

grilled mackerel !

The fish has a lot of meat and the savory taste is superb.

It tastes better before it gets cold.

Samhap means eating skate, kimchi, and pork together.

You can eat it as shown below.

Ssamjang is a unique sauce in Korea.

Many foreigners like ssamjang.
