Hi Everyone! Sometime ago, I had to bring something delicious for our church’s potluck. I decided to make this tasty deep fried vegetable dish and received good comments about it. 😉 The reason I wanted to make this for the party is that it is not only delicious, but it is also a good finger food. Although maybe the best thing is that it tastes good when it’s hot or not. So you can make them ahead of the time before your party. 😉 Anyway, I can finally share my deep-fried vegetable recipe with you and I’m super excited about it now. You can make a vegetarian version by omitting the seafood, as is customary, although it is even more savory with the added shrimp. I will also share my secret batter for delicious deep-fried food without using the prepackaged Korean Frying mix flour, for people who cannot find those mixes at stores near them. So, let’s get started.

Pizza is one of the most popular foods in America. My husband loves it so much that our family has a pizza day every week. lol Do Koreans love pizza too? I cannot say that pizza is a food for all ages in Korea like it is in America, but it is a popular food for Koreans, especially the younger generations. Then, how is Korean pizza is different? 🍕 That is what I’m going to show you today. 😉 Koreans like a lot of toppings on their pizza. Among those toppings, there are some ingredients that you may have never saw on pizza before, such as sweet potato paste, sweet corn, seasoned potatoes, etc. Does anything sound interesting?

Sometimes my viewers ask what kind of food I feed to my boys. Some moms tell me that they have difficulty getting their children to eat because they are picky eaters. I can understand how the moms feel. Moms want to make sure that kids eat well and grow up healthy. Recently, I met a mom with a son and her son only eats to eat rice and meat, but no vegetables. She asked me for advice or ideas. I wanted to come up with a good way to feed kids vegetables, and this is what I got: Seafood Rice Jeon. It is called “해물 밥전 (HaeMul BapJeon)” in Korean. Haemul means seafood and bap means cooked rice and jean is a Korean pancake. Instead of using flour, this recipe uses cooked rice for the batter. The jeon has various vegetables and seafood for great flavor. So in this simple food, you can get most of the nutrients that you need for your meal. Isn’t that cool? Also, because it doesn’t have flour, this can be an exciting recipe for people who can’t eat gluten. It is very delicious and easy to make. I’m happy to share this recipe with you today. Please try it someday. 🙂

When you think of baking, you can easily think that it’s a time-consuming and complex process. Normally, you have to let the dough rise 2 or 3 times. That’s why most people prefer to buy bread at a bakery instead of making it at home. However, if it is not that difficult to make and it tastes better than store bought bread, would you still buy it? Or would you give it a try and make it at home? You can save money, control your ingredients by picking healthier ones, and enjoy it too. That’s what I’m going to share with you today – a popular Korean-style hot dog bread called Sausage bread or pizza bread in Korea. My husband and sons loved it. 🙂

Hi Everyone. Today, I will share a very tasty snack food that brings back good memories from hometown. My hometown, Gwangju, has a popular bakery called “Gongjeon Jegwa” which can be translated as “Palace Bakery.” It started as a local bakery and has now grown into several branches. One of their signature breads is this “GongRyongAl” which means “Dinosaur Egg.” Oh don’t worry or be scared – it doesn’t have any dinosaur eggs in it. lol It is a famous and popular bread that I ate while growning up. I wanted to make it at home, and this recipe is what I came up with. It was a huge success and my Korean family members told me it’s even better than the one the bakery makes. yay ~~~ 🙂 The flavor is almost the same, so I’m happy with the result. Now I can make it anytime, anywhere when I get hungry for it. The fresh french baguette filled with this yummy egg salad and other ingredients will give you a very pleasant experience. Try it someday.
