Discover the Delightful Flavors of Salted Oysters: A Traditional Korean Delicacy

This folk dish is made by salting oysters for fermentation, then spicing them with chili pepper powder and other spices. Salting seafood prevents decomposition and allows the enzymes in seafood to interact with microorganisms, which create complex flavors. Fresh oysters are washed in salted water, dried, and salted. After a few days, the sauce is made with the starch mixture and chili pepper powder and mixed with the salted oysters. In restaurants, Salted Oysters are often served with Mung Bean Pancake or as side dishes for steamed rice. A piece may be placed on steamed rice, mixed, and let the sweet and savory flavors of oysters unfold.
