15. Korean Bugak Sticky Rice and Seaweed Crisps

$3.29 | 1.76 Oz

Like many traditional dishes from the Korean culinary oeuvre, bugak (a savory treat made with dried seaweed or various veggies coated with glutinous rice, then deep-fried) originated as a form of temple cuisine. Typically served as a kind of banchan, or appetizer, bugak was likely invented by vegeterian Buddhist monks as a way to extend the shelf life of fresh seaweed and vegetables long into the winter months. Centuries later, this tasty snack has become a pillar of Korean cuisine, enjoyed across the world-and it’s a snack you can now add to your TJ’s shopping list, in the form of Trader Joe’s Korean Bugak Sticky Rice and Seaweed Crisps.

They’re made for us by a supplier in the Republic of Korea, who dries discs of combined Seaweed and Sticky Rice for a whopping fifteen hours to ensure a light and well-puffed consistency once cooked. Then, they fry them to a satisfyingly crisp texture, before seasoning them with sesame seeds, sugar, sea salt, onion powder, and kelp powder. It all results in an alluringly umami-rich and crunchy eating experience that still makes a great bit of banchan for a bowl of Organic Silken Tofu [sku 80590] soup, a fantastic base for a spicy tuna or salmon hors d’oeuvre, as well as an excellent anytime snack.
