Sanjeok

Sanjeok is typically made with beef, chicken, or pork, although it can also be made with seafood or tofu. The meat is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil before being skewered with vegetables such as mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. The skewers are then grilled or broiled until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Sanjeok is often served with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar.
