Garlic cloves, minced
Ginger, grated
Soy sauce
Gochujang (Korean red chili paste)

Steamed seafood Cooking procedure:

Clean and prepare the seafood by removing shells, deveining shrimp, and cutting into appropriate sizes. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables by chopping onions, carrots, scallions, and cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot or a deep pan, heat some sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté until fragrant.
Add the prepared vegetables to the pot and stir-fry for a few minutes until they start to soften.
In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, gochujang, sugar, and a small amount of water or seafood broth to make a sauce.
Pour the sauce into the pot with the vegetables and stir well to coat.
Add the seafood to the pot and gently mix with the vegetables and sauce.
Pour enough water or seafood broth into the pot to partially submerge the ingredients. Cover the pot with a lid.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and the flavors meld together.
Once the seafood is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender, remove from heat.
Serve the seafood jjim hot with steamed rice or as a side dish to enjoy the flavors of the seafood and vegetables.

Please note that the cooking time may vary depending on the size and type of seafood used. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
