Aguijjim : A Brief Introduction
Aguijjim is made of a fish called anglerfish, or “Agui” in Korean.
“Jjim,” in Korean, means a steamed dish. The dish is steamed anglerfish. The fish is chopped into bite-size pieces, steamed, and then mixed together with a hot spicy red pepper paste sauce, bean sprouts and other seafood. Until the 1940s, Agui was underestimated by fishermen because of its ugly appearance. However, as fish became scarcer, it became more valuable, even more expensive than beef. Because it likes to eat eel, shrimp and other sea food rich in protein, Agui does contain a lot of proteins, and is very tasty. This fish is also low in fat and calories, therefore it is the ideal food to maintain a healthy diet.
In addition, Agui is very chewy, going well with bean sprouts, which provide a fresh texture. Most Koreans love the hot and spicy taste of this particular dish. So, they like to mix their rice with Aguijjim sauce. For those who are not fond of spicy food, it might be a good idea to enjoy the dish separately, and always keep your glass of water handy.
