Warm food steamed in one pot that instantly melts your hungry heart and frozen body! Here, a special new year to be celebrated with a loved one that I ‘favored’ and at a famous place that I ‘favored’.
In the new year of 2025, a warm ‘steamed’ travel story filled with steam!
This week’s (January 6 – January 10) EBS 1TV current affairs and culture program is ”Did you like it~?” Five episodes will be broadcast.
The winter sea was ‘steamy’! The two major mountain ranges of the ‘steamed’ cooking world, ‘snow crab’ and ‘skate’, which can only be eaten during this season.
Fresh ‘snow crab’ is in season in Uljin right now! In Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do, which embraces the blue sea, snow crab fishing is in full swing right now. It is said that snow crabs that live in the deep waters of the East Sea are at their most delicious starting in January. Hupohang Snow Crab Alley is crowded with people who want to taste it. Sashimi, grilled butter, and crab fried rice are all delicious no matter how you eat them, but snow crab is best eaten whole when steamed!
Sweet steamed snow crab shared with the crew and their families after returning from the first snow crab fishing trip of the year! With that one bite, all the suffering on the sea melts away like snow.
The taste gets more intense the hotter it is, Naju skate? It is said that a feast without skate is not a feast. Tangy fermented skate is a popular fish among Jeolla-do people! In particular, Naju Yeongsanpo, where aged skate was created, is the home of skate cuisine with a 600-year history.
Youngsu Kim has been making skate dishes for the second generation, following his mother. They say that the taste of skate dishes lies in how fresh the ingredients are and how well they are fermented. Skate is carefully aged for about 45 days in a large jar. A hearty meal made with skate, from skate samhap to skate pancakes and fried foods. In particular, steamed skate with spicy seasoning is said to be a delicacy sought after by those who know how to eat skate.
What is the tangy, tangy taste of steamed skate? A delicacy from the winter sea! Let’s go now to taste that precious thing.
