Salty, Natural & Addictive
[Sung Gyung] Seasoned Laver Flakes (Kimjaban)
Sung Gyung has been our go-to brand for Korean Laver.
It's no surprise that their Seasoned Laver Flakes (known as Kimjaban in Korean) tastes incredible as well! It remind us of that classic gim flavor from our childhood dosiraks. Sung Gyung harvests all of its laver during Korea's cold winter, when seaweed turns ripe and tastes its best. The seaweed are chopped into smaller strands and roasted at a high heat. The flakes come out with a crispy, extra-crunchy texture. It's then lightly seasoned with salt, sesame oil and a touch of sugar.
We love this Kimjaban because it doesn't taste too salty or sweet. Many brands put too much sugar or add too many other seasonings. Sung Gyung nailed the ratio between salty, sweet and the natural seaweed flavor.
When you're hungry, sprinkle a handful of these flakes over a bowl of steaming rice. Add-in a fried egg too if you like!
