my local hmart reopened recently and in the wild busy rush i went into some kind of fugue state and bought this braised pollack (alongside all my usual groceries, at least). mama didn't raise a food waster but how do I eat it? should I be heating it or can I use it straight from the container as banchan? please help

    I’m very very far from an expert so I might be wrong but the one time I had a kind of marinated raw pollock it was a topping for a very very delicious naengmyeon…

    Looks like it’s already braised (cooked) so you can just heat it up and eat it with rice

    Its a side dish. Like all side dishes, you eat it with rice.
    A basic korean meal involves dispersing like 4-8 side dishes, everyone gettung their rice and maybe one protein in the center. The beauty is that you can put away and reuse for virtually every meal.

    명태코다리조림 Braised soft dried pollack can be eaten as a side dish, main dish, or snack. Room temperature fairly soon after cooking, reheated from the fridge, hot fresh off the stove. Eaten with rice, possibly some kind of soup, and assorted banchan. Just whatever works for you.

    Eaten cold straight out of the fridge is how I’ve always eaten it. I’ve never had it warmed. It can be, though.

    One of my favorite side dishes, it’s an easy protein, especially when you don’t have an entree. The radish inside is a treat.

    Pretty sure this is administered orally.

    With rice of course.
    It can eaten cold but lightly heated so it doesn’t over dry is even better IMO

    Hopefully this wasn’t leftover from when they shut down the first time if they just reopened. Just asking for a friend there

    It’s a Ban-chan (side dish for rice). Solely, it is salty and spicy. Eat it with rice-!
