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!

How is Gim Made?
Korean Gim starts by harvesting edible seaweed (red algae) that grow around the rocks on the ocean floor. But not from any ocean! Gim is harvested specifically from the waters surrounding the Korean Peninsula, starting from late-December to mid-April.
The harvested seaweed is then finely chopped and mixed into a large vat of water - like a soup. The soup mixture is then scooped over rectangular bamboo mats. The water passes through the porous mat and a thin layer of seaweed mix is left behind. This thin layer is then baked at a high temperature (or sun-dried). Afterwards, it's seasoned with oil and salt and baked once more.
