Korean Food and Recipes
Mackerel that is fried with a little salt is a common way to eat this fish in Korea. You can buy pre-salted mackerel from a Korean grocery store. The saltiness varies between brands. This post is not really much of a recipe because all I did was fry the fish, but I wanted to introduce you to this popular Korean side dish. Dark fish meat is very healthy and mackerel has omega-3 fatty acid in its dark meat. Try this delicious and healthy Korean dish someday. Thanks! 😀

This is a special type of mackerel. It is already salted for frying. You can find it at a Korean or Asian grocery store.
Hi Everyone! Thank you for participating the poll about my blog theme. Since the gap between new theme and old theme are not even close, we closed the poll. Actually, we had the feeling that most of you like older theme more than new one, and that’s one reason we started the poll. We respect all of your opinions, but we will follow majority. Out of 47 votes, 70% liked the old theme better; 26% liked the new theme better, and 4% were indifferent. We will always try to make better blog for you. Thanks for all of the votes. Have a great weekend. 🙂
Pumpkin season has arrived! This pumpkin pie recipe is one of my husband’s favorites. It has a great spice flavor. My son and I are good, I just feel tired more easily and have to go to the bathroom often. He plays a lot everyday. Please keep us in your prayers. I will be back with a Korean recipe soon. hehe As always, thanks! Love, Aeri.

GimJaBan MuChim (김자반 무침) is a dried seaweed side dish. As I mentioned before, there are different kinds of seaweed in Korean cuisine. The dried seaweed called “GimJaban” has very similar taste with the seaweed that is used for kimbap or sushi; however, the texture is different since it’s chunks of seaweed rather than a sheet. This is a good side dish to keep in the refrigerator and use for lunch boxes or normal meals. Try this simple and delicious side dish someday.

This is a type of dried seaweed. If you go to a Korean store, ask the owner to give “GimJaBan”, then they will know what you want.
Wow, the weather is getting cooler, and it was a little chilly today. Maybe the Summer is gone already. I hope that everyone stays healthy and happy. Anyway, a hobby I started after marriage is collecting cookbooks. It is always great to get a good cookbook with delicious recipes and beautiful pictures. How many times, do I actually use those cookbooks? oops… I was too busy cooking Korean food for my videos and blog. hehe (my excuse) My husband and I look through a new cookbook together, and we mark recipes that we want to try later. Since it has been a while since I made dessert for my husband, I picked a recipe that uses fresh peaches that I got from the farmers’ market. This peach and blueberry pie was a big success. We both agreed it is a good pie recipe to share with people who visit my blog, even though it is not Korean food. Try this pie someday, and make your lover happy as I did.

Today, I will show you how to make Korean Chicken Rice Soup, 삼계탕. In Korea, people love to eat this chicken soup when summer starts. Why do Koreans like to eat hot soup in the hot days of summer? The belief is that you can get very tired and weak because of the hot weather, so you need to recover or prepare your body with healthy food. In that point this chicken soup has many good ingredients that is thought to give energy and health such as chicken, ginseng, garlic, dates, and so on. Even though it is most popular during the summer in Korea, Koreans will enjoy this soup any time. Therefore, I highly recommend that you try this healthy and tasty chicken soup someday.
