진미채 (Dried Squid)

Jinmichae is a traditional Korean seafood snack made primarily from dried squid. It is prepared by slicing squid thinly, salting it, and then drying it, which concentrates the squid's flavor and results in a rich, deep taste. Jinmi-chae has a chewy texture and combines a nutty flavor with a hint of saltiness, making it a popular accompaniment to beer or soju.

It is also convenient to eat, making it a great snack or a side dish for rice. For preparation, it can be simply stir-fried or seasoned to enhance its flavor, and pairing it with gochujang (Korean chili paste) or mayonnaise offers a unique taste experience.

Jinmi-chae is delicious on its own, but it is also a versatile ingredient that can be used in various dishes.
