About bamboo salt
Bamboo salt is made by roasting sea salt in bamboo cylinders plugged with the 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 will not find bamboo salt, then the sea salt is a suitable substitute.
