Samgyeopsal is delicious no matter how you eat it. There are so many things that double the flavor when paired with samgyeopsal, such as ssam vegetables, ssamjang, kimchi, seasoned soybean sprouts, green onion salad, doenjang jjigae, and naengmyeon. If you go to eat samgyeopsal and have to choose just one, what would you pick? With a generous heart, I’ll exclude salt, pepper, and rice. Because there has to be at least 0.01% saltiness. Also, carbohydrates are love♡ We asked DrinKit editors, who all have different tastes, what their must-have item is when eating samgyeopsal.

It’s delicious no matter how you eat it, but ssam vegetables must never be missing. When you put savory samgyeopsal on fragrant ssam leaves and put it in your mouth, it’s fantastic. You might ask if ssamjang is essential for ssam, but if you have lettuce, perilla leaves, and even danggui, you can fully enjoy samgyeopsal without rice or ssamjang. Recently, after falling for the charm of fragrant danggui, I’m happier because I have more reasons to eat samgyeopsal. I can’t escape the charm of ssam!

Spicy seasoned soybean sprouts perfectly cut the greasy taste of samgyeopsal. Since it also preserves the crunchy texture, it’s an essential item for samgyeopsal. It tastes good on its own, but it tastes even better when grilled on the pan. It’s also great to add when frying rice after finishing the samgyeopsal. Seasoned soybean sprouts, I love you!

Kimchi is especially the best side dish when eating jipgyeopsal (samgyeopsal grilled at home). It’s perfect on its own when you grill well-fermented kimchi from the fridge in oil without any special preparation. It’s even better because you can get saltiness from kimchi without salt or pepper. When making fried rice, it’s convenient without needing extra seasoning, and it preserves the crunchy texture, so I think it’s the best in every way. I love kimchi!


Tonight’s dinner is samgyeopsal!
