About Bamboo salt
Bamboo salt is made by roasting sea salt in bamboo cylinders plugged with yellow mud. The salt absorbs minerals from the bamboo and mud, which in turn leach the salt of impurities. Look for plastic bags of it in Korean markets. If you can't find bamboo salt, sea salt is a suitable substitute.
