Pro Tips On How to Maximize Samgyupsal Buffets
Here are some of the proven ways on how to eat Samgyupsal at maximum enjoyment:
- Typically, the pork and beef served are plain. If there are other flavored meats available, don’t be afraid to try them.
- If you have differently flavored meats, cook first those plain and followed by those marinated. This helps you to compare what to order again, without wasting the other meats.
- If the buffet includes shrimps, it’s better to de-shell the shrimp first before grilling to cook it faster and maximize the bowls available.
- Just in case you didn’t know it, you can also grill kimchi for a surprising treat.
- Remember to request garlic for added taste while grilling or chili for those who want it spicy.
- The grilling pan would be thick with charred bits of meat. Ask for another one, if it’s not offered.
- The cheese can be wiped out faster with few dips, which can be unfair for the others. Better top a well-proportioned amount on the meat while grilling, so it directly melts for richer taste.
- Different sauces give a variety of taste, so give each one a go.
- Don’t get too attached with side dishes like potatoes and other carbs.
- Get a drink to pair with the meal, and Soju is perfect!
It sounds more tedious than just cooking some pork belly and shoving those little wraps down your throat before they even get the chance to cool down. However, everything about unli-samgyupsal is worth it. Daebak!
