Guljeot (굴젓) or salted oyster is a jeotgal (salted seafood) made by salting and fermenting oyster.[1][2][3] It is a popular banchan (side dish) served as an accompaniment to bap (cooked rice).

Preparation[edit]

Small, fresh oysters are shucked, washed gently in salt water, salted with coarse salt, and allowed to ferment for five days.[4] It is then seasoned with minced garlic, finely chopped onion, gochutgaru (chili powder), and optionally julienned radish and/or pear.[4] It is then aged for three to four days, and is served with a drizzle of sesame oil.[4]
