Last Lunch before My Retirement : Korean Traditional Soy Sauced Blue Crab. Gan Jang Gae Jang

in #food7 years ago

It was my last lunch in my office. I had lunch with 2 of my fellow subordinates.
I invited them into my favorite restaurant.

In our ages, the best cuisine is usually a traditional one. Among them, the Gan Jang Gae Jang is considered as an one of the cuisine.

Up until several years ago, Gan Jang Gae Jang had been very expensive and not easy to taste.

There needed so many touches to make the Gan Jang Gae Jang.

The most important thing is a fresh blue crab.

For a long time ago, it was not easy to carry the crabs from a port into an inland, so to get fresh crabs for Gan Jang Gae Jang in my hometown was difficult.

The process to make Gan Jang Gae Jang is as below

1 washing the live crabs clearly

2 boiling the soy sauce

3 pour the soy sauce on the cleaned crabs several times

There are other many more expensive cuisine, but I chose the Gan Jang Gae Jang for a nostalgia of our ages in Korea. When we grew up, it was impossible to taste the Gan Jang Gae Jang.
Of course, it is not easy to have that anytime anyplace. But I’d like to share our ages feeling with my men.

There is a procedure in eating the Gan Jang Gae Jang.
The cover is the most important part in Gan Jang Gae Jang.

You need to put an spun of rice on the crab’ cover and mix the rice with yellow eggs and soy sauce.

It was a daddy’s privilege to take the crab’s cover. Moms at that time never had permitted their kids to take the crab’s cover.

At that time only one crab for a dinner was considered lavish.

Now this time, we had one crab each.

Side dish was also great.

oyster is my favorite food.
This red one below is the oyster sauced with redpaper. Whether you know it or not, redpaper is helping fermentation. So this oyster had some flavor of fermentation.

It was great.
But the greater thing was having a lunch with my favorite friends.

The perfect luncheon depends on not a food but a people.

They look great.Well do you know Kimbap?We can say Kimbap is the most consumed daily food of Korea. When we go to work in the morning, we take out a bagel to see if we can get a bagel, and the Koreans get out of the house to get a Kimbap. It is also an indispensable meal for picnics and long journeys. As a figure, it is a different dish of sushi analogue sushi. Boiled rice is delicious rolls obtained by wrapping seaweed wrapped in inner materials like sauteed spinach, carrots, eggs and sweet radish, sausage or tuna fish, cucumber.You may be interested in this food. @slowwalker

I really like crab food because the protein that contains it is very high and low in calories. So I am very abstinent to stay away from him

Looks very delicious! Thank you for article!

Thank you so much

se ve muy rico, salvo el cangrejo, da un poco de cosa asi jajajaja

Love all the ban chan dishes you get with these types of meals. One of the best things about korean meals is the assortment of these side dishes, absolutely amazing. It's also funny how you referred to these people as subordinates and not coworkers, interesting perspective
