Jangeogui: Korea’s Three-Way Grilled Eel Tradition

Jangeogui, grilled eel seasoned three different ways, is a traditional Korean summer dish designed to restore stamina during hot weather. The three classic preparations use salt, sweet-savory soy glaze, or spicy gochujang sauce, each bringing out unique flavors in the rich fish. It's traditionally paired with raw garlic and ginger slivers, and can also be braised with vegetables for a heartier meal.
