If you‘re seeking a unique Korean snack to add excitement to your palate, gim bugak is an excellent choice.
Once a beloved local delicacy from the southern regions of South Korea, gim bugak features seaweed sheets coated in a thin layer of rice paste and deep-fried to crispy perfection.
While classic gim bugak features plain seaweed and rice paste, contemporary versions often include seasonings like soy sauce, sugar, or chile flakes for an added twist.
Known for its crisp texture and harmonious blend of salty, savory, and slightly nutty flavors, gim bugak is a favorite at southern Korea’s family gatherings and celebrations.
This unique snack is also suited as a side dish or as a crunchy companion to alcoholic drinks.
