Have you ever tried Galmaegisal? If not, you're missing out on one of Korea's best-kept barbecue secrets!

Unlike in other countries, Galmaegisal in Korea is usually grilled over charcoal (숯불), which gives it an incredible smoky flavor that enhances the natural richness of the meat. Galmaegisal comes from a specific cut located between the pork shoulder and belly, often referred to as the "skirt meat." It's tender, juicy, and has a texture that’s unlike any other pork cut you might have tried.

What makes the experience even more special is the Korean barbecue style. You get to grill it yourself at the table, pairing the perfectly charred meat with ssamjang, garlic, and wrapping it in fresh lettuce leaves or perilla leaves. The flavors all come together to create a truly unique experience!

If you're ever in Korea (or find a good Korean BBQ restaurant abroad), make sure to try Galmaegisal over charcoal. You won’t regret it!
