Changnan-jeot
Where changnan-jeot sits on the table
A crisp, crunchy bite — the first plate to empty at a drinking table
Changnan-jeot is the intestines of Alaska pollock, salted and cured. Where myeongnan uses the roe sac, changnan uses the intestines beside it, and two different jeotgal come out of a single fish. The crisp, snapping bite is very nearly the whole point of this jeotgal, so how it is trimmed and how far it is cured decide the result. Once it softens, there is no reason to call it changnan-jeot. The lower the salt, the more easily the tissue gives way, which makes keeping the bite the baseline for this item.
- Raw material
- The intestines of Alaska pollock. The roe sac of the same fish becomes myeongnan-jeot.
- Trimming
- It has to be washed several times before its particular smell settles.
- Texture
- How crisply it snaps is exactly what its quality amounts to.
How to eat it, and what with
One meal of 50 g makes a side dish on its own, and what it sits beside changes what it does.
How
- 01
A spoonful over white rice
The crunch plays against the softness of the rice.
- 02
Tossed with sesame oil and seeds
Add sesame oil and sesame seeds just before eating and the crunch reads even more clearly.
- 03
With toasted seaweed (gim) or tofu
On toasted gim, or on blanched tofu. Reduced-salt, so it is easy to keep eating.
With what
- Soju · makgeolli
- The crunch is what people reach for first at a drinking table, and a single mouthful lasts a long time.
- Steamed egg · soft tofu
- Set beside something soft, the difference in texture becomes sharper.
- Toasted gim · gimbap
- Rolled with rice in gim, the chew holds the center of the bite.
- Radish salad · seasoned cucumber
- Crisp against crisp never tires, and the hand keeps going back.
