You can broil food on a spit or directly on a grill. Barbecued beef is the most popular broiled dish. One popular fried dish is chon. Chopped or whole meat, fish, or vegetables are covered with flour. It is then dipped into beaten eggs and pan-fried to make chon.
Many people enjoy either raw or parboiled fish.
Both dishes go well with drinks and are usually eaten on special occasions. Vegetables may be parboiled or fried, and seasoned with various spices. They should be mixed, seasoned, and soaked by hand to improve the taste. Koreans preserve fish, clams, fish eggs, or the internal organs of fish with salt until they are fermented. This brings about salty yet tasty side dishes and appetizers.
