Cooking Instructions
Step 1
There are two delightful ways to enjoy gamtte! You can savor it fresh right out of the package, or lightly grill it to enhance its flavor. Choose your favorite way to enjoy this oceanic delicacy.
Step 2
How to grill gamtte: Preheat a frying pan, then turn off the heat. Use the residual heat to lightly grill both sides of the gamtte. If you grill it over direct heat, it will burn easily, so be cautious. Grilling brings out the gamtte’s unique savory aroma.
Step 3
How to store leftover gamtte: Seal any remaining gamtte tightly to remove as much air as possible, just as it came in its original packaging. Secure the opening with tape, then place it in a black plastic bag, and finally into a zip-lock bag before storing it in the freezer. Removing air is key to maintaining freshness!
Step 4
If you’re enjoying fresh gamtte, cut it into bite-sized pieces. You can leave it in long strips or cut it into neat squares, whichever you prefer.
Step 5
Making the wild garlic soy sauce dressing: For the wild garlic (dal-rae), gently pinch off the earthy root ends with your fingertips. Rinse the dal-rae thoroughly, pat it dry, and then mince it finely. Combine the minced dal-rae with the soy sauce, water, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and toasted sesame seeds in a bowl. Mix everything well until the dressing is evenly combined. This dressing will have a wonderfully pungent and aromatic flavor.
Step 6
Serve the gamtte and the wild garlic soy sauce dressing with warm multigrain rice or barley rice for a truly delicious meal. Gamtte is rich in dietary fiber and can be beneficial for blood sugar management, making it a healthy addition to your diet.
