Bokkeum refers to almost an entire category of Korean side dishes. Within the bokkeum category, there are dry and wet recipes. Some examples of dry bokkeum side dishes include gamja-chae-bokkeum (stir-fried julienne potatoes), myeolchi-bokkeum (stir-fried anchovies) and ojingeo-chae-bokkeum (stir-fried dried shredded squid). Some of the saucier bokkeum recipes include jeyuk-bokkeum (stir-fried pork), nakji-bokkeum (stir-fried long arm octopus), and soseji yachae bokkeum (stir fried sausage vegetable).
