Jeonbok-jang

ORIGIN · where it comes from

The value is not in the meat but in the viscera

Wando abalone steeped with its viscera — a jar that goes out as a gift

Jeonbok-jang — Korean-produced live abalone · brewed soy sauce

With jeonbok-jang — soy-marinated abalone — you look at the viscera before the meat. The viscera are the abalone's gut, where the taste of the sea mustard and kelp it grazed on collects. Heat breaks them down first and turns them bitter, so no cooked preparation can bring this flavor to the table. That is why a marinade that steeps the viscera along with the meat is worth making, and why kelp and shiitake go into the blend — to catch the bitter edge of the viscera with savory depth.

Live abalone
Intake is live seafood only. In a dead animal the viscera spoil first, so we do not accept it.
Abalone viscera
The abalone's gut. Where the value of this item is judged, and the part least able to take heat.
Kelp · shiitake
A blend that catches the bitter edge of the viscera with savory depth.
Wando
The center of abalone farming in Korea. The producing region is compact, so the grade holds steady year-round.

How long this raw material steeps

One day — the meat is firm, so the seasoning goes in slowly

How to eat it, and what with

There is no cooking step, so the moment you take it out is the end of the preparation. What sits beside it decides what kind of meal it becomes.

How

  1. 01

    Jeonbok-jang rice bowl

    Slice it thin over rice and mix in the viscera. The viscera are what this item is worth.

  2. 02

    A whole one at a time

    Score it and serve it as it is. The sweetness builds as you chew.

  3. 03

    On the holiday table

    Put the tray straight on the table. Not a side dish to spoon out, but a plate of its own.

With what

White rice · sesame oil
Thin slices and the viscera over rice, with a few drops of sesame oil. You have not really eaten this item until the viscera are mixed into the rice.
Toasted gim
Wrapping the rice and abalone in seaweed tidies up the density of the viscera.
Sea mustard soup
Abalone and sea mustard sit in the same place in the sea. Keep the soup plain and let the marinade carry the seasoning.
White kimchi
Kimchi made with chili powder and the aroma of the viscera cancel each other out. A clear kimchi supports it instead.

WHY HPP

Abalone is expensive, so there is more to lose. Heat shrinks the meat and cuts the volume, and the viscera break down first and turn bitter. High pressure pasteurizes while the viscera keep their shape, which is why the value of the technology shows most clearly in this item.
