Gilgeori are a popular South Korean street food. This vegetarian twist on a dish often served with ham balances mild cheese with the subtle spice of gochujang, a condiment regularly used in Korean cuisine. Dip the gilgeori into garlic and chive dipping sauce for a meal with deliciously bold and balanced flavours.
