Ganjang Goreng? Nope.
The Korean restaurant Soban on Olympic Boulevard serves a crab dish called ganjang gejang. There is no such thing as “ganjang goreng” in Korean cuisine, according to @KoreanFood on Twitter.
Ganjang gejang (간장게장) is marinated raw crab in soy sauce. Nasi goreng literally means “fried rice” in Indonesian.
Just because Indonesia and Korea are both in Asia doesn’t mean we have to suffer the atrocity of having two very different dishes mixed up by a nincompoop.

Korean lesson: Ganjang (간장) refers to Korean soy sauce. Ge means “crab” and jang means “condiment”.
