Korean Ways to Enjoy · Korean Recipes

Classic Korean dishes made with peeled chestnuts (Bam) — experience authentic Korean home-cooking flavour.

Bam-bap

밤밥

One of Korea's most beloved chestnut dishes. Peeled chestnuts are cooked together with rice in a pot, releasing their natural sweetness as they soften into the grains. A classic Korean autumn home meal — simply serve with a soy-based dipping sauce for a complete and satisfying dish.

Galbi-jjim

갈비찜

A centrepiece dish for Korean holidays and celebratory tables. Beef short ribs are slow-braised in a soy-based sauce together with peeled chestnuts, jujubes, and carrots. The chestnuts absorb the rich sauce, adding a deep sweetness that complements the tender meat beautifully.

Yaksik

약식

A traditional Korean dessert made by steaming glutinous rice with soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil, along with peeled chestnuts, jujubes, and pine nuts. Enjoyed during the Lunar New Year and other festive occasions, it is celebrated for the chewy texture of the glutinous rice paired with the soft, sweet chestnuts.

Yulran

율란 (밤 다식)

A refined royal court confection made by mashing boiled chestnuts and kneading them with honey and cinnamon, then shaping the mixture to resemble a chestnut. Served as a premium Korean traditional sweet (hangwa) alongside tea, its natural sweetness and smooth texture are reminiscent of European marron glacé.

Bam-tteok

밤떡 · 밤설기

A Korean rice cake (Tteok) made by pressing peeled chestnuts into rice flour and steaming. The pleasant contrast between the soft, moist rice cake and the firm chestnut pieces makes it a popular choice for celebrations and first-birthday feasts (Dolsang). Also enjoyed as a light dessert alongside tea.

Samgye-tang

삼계탕

A nourishing Korean restorative soup in which a young chicken is stuffed with glutinous rice, ginseng, garlic, and peeled chestnuts, then simmered slowly. The chestnuts add a gentle sweetness to the broth and become tender alongside the chicken, completing a hearty and wholesome one-pot meal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are these Korean Peeled Chestnuts (Bam)? How are chestnuts used in Korean cuisine?

This product is 500g of frozen chestnuts with the shell and skin fully removed. While chestnuts are a familiar ingredient across Europe, in Korea they are used extensively in traditional dishes — from holiday ritual foods and Bam-bap (chestnut rice) to braised dishes and desserts. Pre-cleaned and frozen for convenience, they allow households in Europe to enjoy authentic Korean chestnut cooking without any of the laborious peeling work.

Is this product suitable for vegans and vegetarians?

Yes, this product is 100% suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. The only ingredient is chestnuts — there are no animal-derived components whatsoever. The product is also gluten-free and halal.

I have allergies — is this product safe for me?

This product contains nuts, one of the 14 major allergens listed under Annex II of EU Food Information Regulation 1169/2011. Chestnuts are classified as nuts under EU regulations, so individuals with a nut allergy should avoid this product. Additionally, some frozen peeled chestnut products may contain sulphites (E220–E228) as antioxidants; if present above 10mg/kg, these must be declared as allergens under EU rules. Always check the product packaging for the most accurate and up-to-date ingredient information.

How should I store frozen peeled chestnuts, and how do I use them after thawing?

This is a frozen product. Keep frozen at −18°C or below until ready to use. To thaw, remove the quantity needed and defrost slowly in the refrigerator, or leave at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before cooking. Do not refreeze after thawing; once defrosted, consume within 1–2 days if kept refrigerated. You can also add the chestnuts directly to boiling water or braised dishes without thawing first.

What do chestnuts taste and feel like? How do they compare to European chestnuts?

Chestnuts are well known across Europe as marron or chestnut. Korean fresh-season chestnuts (Bam) are characterised by their distinctive nuttiness and subtle natural sweetness, with a soft, floury texture when cooked. Compared to European marron glacé or chestnut purée, they are less sweet and more delicate — when added to rice or braised dishes, they release a gentle sweetness and nuttiness that blends naturally with the other ingredients. Already peeled, they are far more convenient to use than the roasted chestnuts typically enjoyed in autumn across Europe.
