Kim Dae-seok's Gim Jaban

A simple 5-minute side dish made by mixing fresh gim with sesame oil and gently frying it over low heat until crispy, without roasting the gim separately.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never fry the gim first and then add oil—it will make the sesame oil taste overly greasy and heavy. Always mix the oil with fresh gim before cooking for a clean, delicate flavor.
  • Gim is extremely thin and burns instantly under high heat, so keep the flame at the absolute lowest setting from start to finish for success.
  • Using fine-grained raw sugar instead of regular granulated sugar ensures the sweetness blends smoothly with the natural aroma of the gim without overpowering it.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to use up leftover soggy fresh gim in a delicious way.
  • Busy parents looking to quickly make a simple, savory side dish for their kids in the morning.
  • People wanting a lighter, less oily and salty homemade version instead of store-bought gim jaban.
