Description

Gawaji No. 1 is a rice breed almost exclusively harvested in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do and nearby towns.  As Gawaji No. 1 has less protein and more amylopectin than other breeds, you can enjoy a delightful rice chewing experience.  When this rice is cooked, you will taste the stickiness that is in between non-glutinous rice and glutinous rice.

Gim (김, dry seaweed or nori) is a fixture in Korean cuisine. Koreans eat it with rice. In America, it is a popular snack. Among many gims from Korea, the No. 1 dry seaweed exporter in the world, Kim’C Market proudly introduces the best one from Korea, Manjun Seaweed.

Haeeorim uses only horse mackerels and young mackerels caught in Jeju Island. The producers ferment those select fish for more than a year. Its flesh completely melts, then separates into liquid and bones. The filtered reddish liquid is fish sauce. As it’s fully fermented, this fish sauce doesn’t smell pungent. It’s full of umami flavor, almost sweet.

Using one tablet, you can create any soup dish from the 16 fresh ingredients made into the tablet. One Tablet Natural Seafood Stock is a popular, proven product among Korean housewives, selling over 1 million bottles. It is freeze-dried to preserve the taste, aroma and nutrition of six seafood (kelp, bonito, anchovy, pollack, tuna and clam) and ten agricultural products (garlic, burdock, lotus root, leek, radish, ginger, beans, shiitake mushroom, cabbage and onion).
