What is "gejang"?

Gejang is a popular Korean dish made from raw marinated crabs that are typically eaten with rice or as a side dish with alcohol. The crabs are first cleaned and then marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, chili pepper flakes, garlic, and other seasonings for several days, which allows the flavors to permeate the meat. The result is a savory and slightly sweet flavor with a soft and tender texture. Gejang is a popular dish in Korea, especially in coastal regions where fresh seafood is abundant. It is also enjoyed in Korean restaurants around the world and is often considered a delicacy due to the complex preparation process.
