The dish was named Tangpyeong-chae to reflect this policy, as it is made from a balanced mix of ingredients.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The mung bean jelly is cut into thin strips and mixed with the beef, eggs, and vegetables. The dish is then seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar. It is usually served cold, making it a popular dish during the summer months.

Cultural significance[edit | edit source]

Tangpyeong-chae is often served during Jesa, a traditional Korean ceremony held to honor ancestors. The dish is also commonly served at banquets and on special occasions.
