Cooking Instructions
Step 1
With the ZipBansan Metropolitan Area Chuseok Table Set, you can enjoy a truly relaxing Chuseok holiday! From various savory pancakes (jeon) to sweet songpyeon, everything you need is perfectly prepared.
Step 2
Now, let’s set a generous and delicious Chuseok table! First, we’ll start with preparing the grilled croaker, a star dish.
Step 3
Gently scrape off the scales from the fresh croaker using the back of a knife. This step is crucial for removing any fishy smell and ensuring a clean, pleasant taste.
Step 4
Next, trim the very ends of the fins located on the tail and gills of the croaker. This neatens the fish’s appearance and helps it maintain its shape while cooking.
Step 5
To remove any remaining odor and add flavor, you can brush the prepared croaker with mirin or rice wine. Alternatively, as I’ve done today, you can use soju. Coat the fish thoroughly with soju.
Step 6
Now, place the prepared croaker in a steamer basket and steam for 25 to 30 minutes. For an enhanced flavor, it’s recommended to place rehydrated kelp at the bottom of the steamer.
Step 7
I’ve placed kelp at the bottom of the steamer for an extra layer of flavor. Furthermore, using kelp can prevent the skin from peeling off when you remove the steamed croaker, helping it keep its beautiful shape.
Step 8
Voila! Here’s the steamed croaker after 25 minutes. Its eyes might look a little fierce, but the result is incredibly tender and moist fish!
Step 9
Next up, the mouth-watering meat skewers (san-jeok)! It comes with plenty of flavorful sauce, making preparation even easier!
Step 10
Place the skewers in a heated pan. Gradually add the sauce, a little at a time, and cook while allowing it to reduce and glaze the meat. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 11
You can adjust the amount of sauce and cooking time according to your preference. Be careful not to overcook the skewers, as they can become tough. Aim for a tender, juicy result.
Step 12
Ah, meat is always a good idea! The delicious aroma of the grilling skewers fills the entire house, bringing smiles all around. It truly is a labor of love!
Step 13
Once the sauce has thickened and coated the skewers beautifully, your delicious meat skewers are ready! So convenient and quick, isn’t it?
Step 14
This is the Hanwoo (Korean beef) and radish soup. This product is kept frozen, ensuring freshness.
Step 15
Simply place the frozen soup directly into a pot and simmer for about 5 minutes. A hearty soup is ready in a flash! It’s incredibly speedy, saving you valuable time on the holiday morning.
Step 16
The dishes are generally seasoned mildly. For items like jeon (pancakes), dipping them lightly in soy sauce will enhance their flavor beautifully.
Step 17
The accompanying vegetable side dishes were also fresh and delightfully crunchy. The taste of fresh vegetables bursting with flavor was truly wonderful.
Step 18
I absolutely adore yakgwa (honey cookies), and ZipBansan’s yakgwa were delightfully chewy and sweet! The yugwa and mugwort songpyeon were also incredibly delicious, making for a fantastic dessert experience.
Step 19
