Kim Dae-seok's Gim Bugak

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Never apply warm rice paste to the seaweed—doing so will cause the seaweed to shrink and become tough. Always cool the paste completely before use.
• Using a spoon takes longer and causes clumping; applying the paste with your hands while wearing gloves ensures an even, smooth coating.
• Kelp naturally contains salt, so avoid over-salting the rice paste to maintain balanced seasoning.
• When frying, ensure the smooth, sesame-coated side touches the oil first to prevent the seeds from separating during frying.
