튀김, or "frying," is a popular cooking method in Korean cuisine that involves immersing food in hot oil. This technique creates a crispy outer layer while keeping the inside moist and flavorful. Common ingredients for 튀김 include vegetables, seafood, and meats, often coated in a light batter before frying. In Korea, 튀김 is often served as a snack or side dish, frequently accompanied by a dipping sauce. Popular variations include 오징어 튀김 (squid fritters) and 야채 튀김 (vegetable tempura). This method of cooking is enjoyed for its satisfying texture and rich taste.
