Korean Food and Recipes

Haddock Jeon

생선 전, SaengSeon Jeon

by 13 Comments

In Korean cuisine, there are many different kinds of jeon (전). Jeon is basically slightly salted food (meat, seafood, fish, mushrooms, vegetables, etc.) that is covered with flour and eggs, or dip in batter and fried. Today, I’m going to show you a variety using fish. You can use any white-fleshed fish such as haddock, pollack, and so on. My favorite for this recipe is haddock, because it has less of a fishy taste. Since it is not deep fried, it will be healthier, and you will not lose the flavor with excessive grease. 😉 Koreans usually eat this as a side dish. It is best to eat this right after you cook it.

Cinnamon Cha

수정과, SuJeongGwa

by 49 Comments

SuJeongGwa (수정과) is a Korean traditional beverage made with mainly cinnamon sticks, ginger, and sugar. Koreans usually drink this beverage as a dessert. Koreans drink it a lot during the holidays. When you look at the ingredients, it has some healthy qualities. It tastes good both hot or cold, but I prefer it cold with ice cubes. Once you make it, you can keep it in the refrigerator quite a long time. If you invite some people over for a Korean meal, this can be a good beverage for your meal. 😉

Beef TteokGuk

소고기 떡국, SoGoGi TteokGuk

by 37 Comments

TteokGuk (떡국) is a traditional Korean New Year soup. Korean people celebrate the Lunar New Year, and this soup is the main dish for that holiday meal. On New Year’s morning, we wear HanBok (Korean traditional clothes) and greet (bow) our grandparents, parents, or relatives. Older people give a blessing for the New Year to their children along with some money called “SaeBatDon” (새뱃돈). After greeting the older people, family and relatives eat breakfast together. The meal will have New Year’s soup, different kinds of vegetable dishes, fish, jeon, japvchae, galbi jjim, and so on. Since Koreans calculate their age according to New Year, and not according to their actual birthday, eating the bowl of New Year soup on New Year’s Day means becoming one year older. It might sound a little crazy. Sometime we joke, “I don’t want to eat more than one bowl of New Year’s soup, otherwise I would become more than one year older.” hehe

Taco Salad

타코 샐러드, Taco Salad

Taco salad is a favorite food of mine that I learned to make from my mother in law. Homemade tortillas, taco seasoned beef, beans, lettuce, onions, cheese, and the french salad dressing. Oh, the combination of those flavors is awesome. @.@ Yesterday, we ate this for supper, and it was very delicious, as always. I guessed somebody might want the recipe for this food, so I post pictures with recipe. Enjoy!
