Pyodam Handcrafted Korean Seaweed Bugak | Traditional Crispy Gim Chips Short Description Discover Korea’s original artisan chip. Pyodam’s handcrafted seaweed bugak is made by coating premium Korean gim in glutinous rice paste, slowly drying it, and gently frying it to a light, golden crisp. Made without added sugar, artificial seasonings, or MSG, each bite delivers clean, savory umami with earthy depth from shiitake mushrooms grown on Pyodam’s family farm. Product Description Bugak is one of Korea’s oldest traditional snacks, originally created as a way to preserve seasonal ingredients through the winter. Thin sheets of seaweed are coated in glutinous rice paste, dried, and fried until crisp, creating a delicate texture and deep savory flavor that feels both timeless and unexpectedly modern. Pyodam’s version is made entirely by hand using a family recipe passed down through generations. What makes it special is the glutinous rice paste itself, slow-cooked with shiitake mushrooms grown on the family’s farm in Gurye, South Korea. This careful process gives each crisp a richer, more layered umami flavor than ordinary seaweed snacks. The seaweed is sourced from the clean coastal waters of Korea’s Dadohae region, known for premium mineral-rich gim. Pyodam also uses a carefully refined house seaweed blend and a precise rice paste ratio to create the ideal balance of crispiness, flavor, and texture. Light, crispy, and deeply satisfying, this is the kind of snack that feels equally at home in a lunchbox, on a charcuterie board, or beside a glass of wine.
