Ganggyeong Jeotgal Samhap

About the dish

Ganggyeong jeotgal samhap wraps an assortment of salted seafood with boiled pork and well-aged kimchi into a single mouthful. It is a regional showcase for Ganggyeong, once the great hub of the jeotgal trade, and the depth of flavor its fermented pantry can deliver.

Key ingredient
