예전 한국 방문시 친구네 놀러갔다가 파김치 먹어봤는데 너무 맛있어서 물어보니 멸치육젓을 넣고 만들었다고 하더라고요. 미국 돌아와서도 그 맛이 간간히 생각났었는데... 왠걸 울타리몰에 통멸치젓을 파는거예요.
바로 주문해서 받자마자 통을 열어보니 싱싱하게 잘 담근 생멸치 마리젓이 그득 들어있더군요. 많이 삭지 않아서 형체가 잘 살아있었고 젓갈 특유의 꼬릿꼬릿함은 덜했어요.
머리떼고 뼈, 내장 발라낸후 파, 마늘, 양파, 땡초, 고춧가루 넣고 양념해서 양배추랑 다시마와 쌈 싸먹어 봤는데 진심 입맛 돌더군요. 보통 젓갈이 짜서 끝맛이 쓴데 우와. 짜지않고 고소한데 감칠맛까지 더해서 어릴때 어머니가 반찬으로 밥상에 올려주시던 그맛과 똑같아서 감탄을 했답니다.
우선 냉장고에 양배추가 있어서 멸치 몇마리 다져넣어 양배추 김치를 만들어봤는데 풍미가 끝내줍니다.
남편이 그걸 먹어보더니 굴을 넣었냐고 묻더군요. 그만큼 멸치젓이 싱싱해요.
물론 비린거 아예 못먹는 사람은 비리다 느껴지겠죠. 저는 워낙 젓갈류를 좋아하니 이 멸치젓이 너무 고소하고 맛있어요.
지금 바로 사용해도 맛있지만 저는 아주 조금만 더 냉장실에 두고 삭혀서 파김치에 사용할 예정이예요.
쓰고 남으면 냉동실로 옮겨놓고 사용하려고요. 젓갈류는 아예 얼지가 않기에 냉동실에 두고 안심하며 사용할 수 있을것 같아요
When I visited Korea, I went to visit a friend and tried green onion Green Onion Kimchi . It was so delicious that when I asked about it, they told me they made it with salted anchovy meat. Even when I returned to the U.S., I occasionally remembered that taste... but for some reason they sell whole Salted Anchovies paste at Wooltari .
As soon as I ordered and received it, I opened the container and it was full of fresh, well-soaked raw anchovies. It wasn't overly marinated, so it retained its shape well and didn't have that stiff fish characteristic of Salted Seafood .
After removing the head, removing the bones and intestines, seasoning it with green onions, garlic, onions, green onions, and red pepper powder, I wrapped it with cabbage and kelp and ate it, and it was really delicious. Usually, Salted Seafood fish is salty and has a bitter aftertaste, but wow. I was impressed because it was not salty and savory, but also had a savory taste, just like the one my mother used to serve as a side dish when I was young.
First of all, I had some cabbage in the refrigerator, so I chopped up some anchovies and made cabbage kimchi, and the flavor was amazing.
My husband tried it and asked if it had oysters in it. That's how fresh the Salted Anchovies is.
Of course, people who can't eat fishy food at all will feel like they are fishy. I really like Salted Seafood seafood, so this Salted Anchovies is so savory and delicious.
It's delicious even if you use it right away, but I plan to leave it in the refrigerator for a little while longer to ferment and use it for Green Onion Kimchi.
If I have any leftover, I plan to move it to the freezer and use it. Since Salted Seafood seafood does not freeze at all, you can keep it in the freezer and use it with confidence
