Jokpyeon is a jelly-like Korean traditional dish that is traditionally eaten around Seollal (Korean New Year’s Day) throughout Korea. It is made by boiling offal or tough meat containing a great deal of collagen such as the hooves skull and skin of a cow for a long time. Shank and tendon can be added to make the dish as a supplement ingredient to enhance the taste. Through the boiling the collagen becomes gelatin melted down like porridge.
