JjaJangMyeon (짜장면) is the most popular Korean style Chinese food in Korea. This is made of mainly black bean paste, meat, and different kinds of vegetables. In Korea, you can easily order JaJangMyeon (Black bean paste noodles) from the Chinese restaurants. Then they will deliver the food to your house only for 3 or 4 dollars without any tipping. Typically, Korean style Chinese restaurants serve JaJangMyeon with Yellow Pickled Radish (DanMuJi), radish kimchi (KkakDuGi), and raw onion with black bean paste, which you will use to make this recipe. Dip the onion into the black bean paste when you eat JaJangMyeon. Garnish with cucumber or peas. Cucumber tastes especially good with this JaJangMyeon.

Just yummy Korean food this time. Kimchi fried rice. Like Kentuky Fried Chicken, only different. 😀 For delicious fried kimchi rice, I want to tell you several things. First, good kimchi makes yummy fried kimchi rice. Well fermanted kichi is the best. Another thing is..Frying the kimchi first is important – don’t cheat. 😛 I prefer to fry my rice a little crispy which takes longer to cook. (patience … hehe) You can add more sugar or salt depending on your taste.

This dish is a spicy Korean stew using mackerel fish. The flavor of the ingredients in this stew is awesome together. If you eat this stew, you can finish your rice without any other side dishes. There is research that says the dark flesh of fish, like mackerel, is good for high blood pressure. Enjoy! 😀

San Jeok (산적) is a Korean holiday food. We usually make this food with family and relatives one day before a holiday, and serve it the next day. The color and taste combination of this food is very good. Depending on your tastes, you can skip the crab or add different kinds of vegetables, such as mushrooms, carrots, or zucchini. If you are a vegetarian, I recommend using mushrooms instead of beef (oyster mushrooms will be the best). Use the same sauce to marinate mushrooms, cook them until they get enough bulgogi sauce flavor, and then skewer them instead of the beef.

Curry powder is considered to be very healthy. Adding different kinds of vegetables and meat will make it even healthier. This recipe is a Korean styled curry & rice dish. When I tried Indian or other (American?) curry powder, I thought the taste was a little different from Korean curry powder. So, use Korean curry powder to get an authentic Korean taste. The Korean brand that I use is called, “Ottogi Curry Medium.” That brand comes three different kinds heat levels: hot, medium, and mild. I usually use medium for my curry rice, but depending on your tastes, you can use hot or mild. If I get the chance to try other curry powders for it, I will let you know the result, or if you try it, tell me what you think of it. I will appreciate the feedback. This curry tastes best with chicken rather than other meat, but you can skip the meat and it will still taste very good. 😀

In Korea, glutinous rice is called chapssal (찹쌀), and its characteristic stickiness is called chalgi (Hangul: 찰기). Cooked rice made of glutinous rice is called chalbap (찰밥) and rice cakes (떡=ddeok) are called chalddeok or chapssalddeok (찰떡, 찹쌀떡). Chalbap is used as stuffing in samgyetang.


In Korea, we use mackerel for soup, stew, or a side dish. For the side-dish, fry it with only salt and oil without any bread crumbs, flour, or butter. This special salted blue mackerel is for frying. They are already cleaned and salted and ready to cook. Just fried salted blue mackerel, with fresh warm rice, is enough to make your stomach happy. 😉
