The use of a gridiron for grilling imparts a distinct smoky flavor, and the mild seasoning contributes to a pleasant texture. When wrapped in fresh vegetables alongside pajeori (green onions), the combination produces an outstanding taste. The doenjang jjigae (soybean paste jjigae) and side dishes, known for their subtle seasoning, offer a clean and refreshing taste.
