GyoChon Chicken

교촌 치킨, GyoChon Chicken

Hi Everyone! Today I will make a delicious chicken dish called “gyochon chicken” or “ganjang chicken” in Korean. Gyochon chicken is a popular Korean restaurant brand. Their specialty is this deep fried chicken covered with a sweet and salty sauce. Many people requested this dish; they particularly mentioned the name “Gyochon chicken.” It was interesting to see that so many people know and love this. To make it a little healthier and easier to make, I baked my chicken instead of deep frying it. The result was just as good. The crispy and chewy chicken, with savory sauce, tastes great. Try it someday. 🙂

Heart-Shaped Hard Boiled Eggs

하트 모양 삶은 달걀, HaTeu MoYang SalMeun DalGyal

Today I will show you how to make heart-shaped hard boiled eggs. Sometime ago, I looked at different kinds of molds for hard boiled eggs. They looked pretty neat and I wondered if there was any way to make different shaped hard boiled eggs without using the molds. This is what I learnt from my search. With a piece of cardboard, a chopstick, and a couple rubber bands, you can make cute heart shaped hard boiled egg at home. I am very excited to share this with you. It can be a cool decoration in salads, lunch boxes, or snack foods for kids. Try it someday. 🙂

Tofu Soybean GukSu

두부 콩국수, DuBu KongGukSu

by Leave a Comment

Last year around this time, I posted a summer noodle dish using soybeans. The recipe was very delicious and refreshing. Today, I will make almost the same dish, but this is a very simple shortcut version. Instead of cooking and blending soybeans, this recipe will blend tofu, some nuts, and milk together. Since tofu is made with soybeans, you will get a similar taste and texture. The nutty, milky soup, along with thin chewy noodles, makes a great dish. It doesn’t take long to make this refreshing summer dish. Try it someday. 🙂

Button Mushroom BokkEum

양송이 버섯 볶음, YangSongI BeoSeot BokkEum

Today, I will introduce you to a quick and easy side dish using button mushrooms. Mushrooms have a savory flavor and give extra flavoring when used as an ingredient in other dishes. Because of that, mushrooms can make a delicious dish without many additional seasonings. They can also be used for making good broth. I like many different kinds of mushrooms. The mushroom flavor in this dish, along with the garlic and hot pepper, tastes very good. Try it someday. 🙂

JjaPaGuRi

짜파구리, JjaPaGuRi

Today, I will share with you one of the hottest trends in Korea around instant noodles. It was popularized in part by the TV show “Dad! Where Are You Going?” (아빠 어디가). In it, one father made kids some instant noodles which they loved. Many people who watched the little boy enjoying them were drooling. LOL… If you watched that episode, you might have wanted to try them too, like me. So, here is a recipe for it. The name is fun too – jjapaguri. It is made by combining the names of two different types of instant noodles. “jjapa” comes from “jjapagetti” (black bean noodles) and “guri” from “neoguri” (spicy instant noodles). Combining two different kinds of instant noodles makes a new delicious flavor. One is a non spicy black bean noodle pack and the other one is a very spicy noodle pack. This concept has become so popular in Korea that the Korean instant noodle companies are advertising and bundling them together. Try this someday.

Quinoa Jeon

퀴노아 전, Quinoa Jeon

by 10 Comments

A few weeks ago, my husband cooked quinoa. It was the first time that either of us tried it. We wondered what this healthy, but curious, grain would be like. For those who don’t know, quinoa is one of the few plants that is a source of complete protein. The flavor and texture were much better than we expected. We both liked it. We ate it with tilapia fried in hot sauce and olive oil. It was a great match. Anyway, he made quinoa than we could eat for that meal, so I came up with the idea of making jeon with the leftovers. This is my recipe using it. It was a big hit with my husband. I grabbed different things I had on hand to make a Korean-style jeon. Instead of using wheat flour, I used quinoa. Not only does it give good flavor, but it also has a unique texture that normal flour doesn’t have. This can be great for people who cannot eat wheat. It is healthy and very delicious. Try it someday. 🙂
