Dish type
Steamed and braised Korean dishes (jjim)
Cooked slowly with steam or a little liquid until tender, such as braised ribs, braised chicken and steamed eggs. Boiled meats like bossam and jokbal have their own list. Braised short ribs are a holiday and special-occasion dish. Braised chicken is shared from a big plate, with glass noodles soaking up the soy-based sauce. Steamed eggs come puffed up and bubbling in a small earthenware pot, a favorite side at barbecue and stew restaurants. Blood sausage is steamed too, and is sold sliced at markets with salt or a sauce for dipping.
