Tofu Kimchi Jeon

Hi everyone. Today, I will introduce another delicious recipe with 2 matching ingredients – tofu and kimchi. In Korean cuisine, there are several dishes that use both ingredients such as tofu kimchi, tofu kimchi stew, and so on. It shows that tofu and kimchi are a great combination of flavors. So I decided to make jeon with those 2 ingredients. Spicy kimchi and the nutty flavor of tofu, along with other vegetable ingredients, makes for a very tasty jeon. I love this jeon with a crispy outside and soft inside. Try it someday.

Hi everyone! Today I opened my refrigerator and found many different kinds of leftover vegetables and I just picked up some fresh squid from the market.

All the vegetable flavors mixed into the chewy-tender squid is very delicious. If you need to clean up your refrigerator, or you want to try something special, try this recipe someday. 🙂

Hi everyone! Can you see my excited face? I’m back again with a super delicious recipe with shiitake mushrooms and beef. Shiitake mushrooms are called a natural seasoning because they have very good natural flavoring. Dried shiitake mushrooms are often used to make broth in Korean cuisine. Shiitake mushrooms are a great match with beef for both flavor and texture. Therefore, this jeon makes a very flavorful dish with good nutrition. The tender meat inside of the chewy mushroom is awesome together. Try it someday.

Dried Laver Muchim

김무침, GimMuChim

Hi everyone! Today, I will make a delicious side-dish that brings back my childhood memories. My hometown is near the southern sea in South Korea. Thanks to that, I’ve grown up with many different kinds of fresh fish, sea plants, and seafood. Among them, I especially liked sea plants such as dried laver, sea mustard, etc. When you buy dried laver (aka nori) in the USA, you usually buy small amounts such as 20 or 30 sheets. However, in Korea, we buy 100 sheets in one pack and moms buy several packs at a time. You can make kimbap, soup, or just have a seasoned and toasted side-dish with it. If my mom had any leftover laver, she made this tasty side-dish with it. It is called GimMuchim in Korean. Simply mixing this toasted laver with a special sauce makes a delicious side-dish. I made it for my kids and they enjoyed it as much as I did when I was little. Try it someday. 🙂

Hi everyone! How are you? I hope everybody is great. I’ve been busy settling down with my family after we moved to a new state. Things are less busy now, and I’m back in my kitchen. yay~~~ So, I will try to post more recipes now. I’m sorry for my slow posting and I appreciate all your comments, so please feel free to talk to me through my blog. The cooler weather is bringing in soup season. So today, I want to share a simple, yet delicious, homemade rosemary potato soup. My husband bought rosemary potato soup in a store and really liked it. I tried making it at home. It is not quite the same as the one from the store, but my husband was happy with the result. The creamy rosemary flavored soup with chunky vegetables is too good to miss for this time of year. Try it someday. 🙂
