Cold weather is here, so I thought that it is the perfect time to share another Korean noodle soup dish with you – KalGukSu. This time it will be spicy Jang KalGukSu, which particularly famous as a regional food in GangReung, Korea. The Korean word “Jang (장)” refers to a seasoning made by fermenting soybeans, which is a main ingredient. Representative types of jang include soy sauce (GanJang,간장), soybean paste (DoenJang,된장), and hot pepper paste (GoChuJang,고추장). See? All those Korean foods have “Jang” in it. Therefore, this Jang KalGukSu name came from its uniqueness of using all 3 of those different Jang ingredients together. Let’s get started.is

Are you familiar with using soybean paste for Korean side-dishes? We usually use soybean paste for cooking a soybean paste soup called “DoenJangGuk”. Soybean paste is one of my favorite flavors for Korean vegetable side-dishes. You can simply boil different kinds of leafy vegetables such as Napa cabbage, spinach, Swiss chard, or bok choy and season the cooked veggies with this soybean paste along with few more Korean flavoring ingredients. Oh my, they are so good. If you are a vegan, this can be a great choice for your Korean meal plan.

Sweet and Sour Sauce ManDu

탕수만두, TangSu ManDu

by Leave a Comment

Hi Aeri’s Kitchen friends. Today, I will share a delicious and fun way to enjoy Korean dumplings. It is called TangSu ManDu (탕수만두) in Korean. If you ever heard of the popular Korean Chinese deep fried pork dish called TangSuYuk, then you can see that this TangSu ManDu is a short version of it. Instead of going through all the mess for deep frying food, you can use pre-made dumplings. The sweet and sour sauce itself tastes great already, but the flavor from different veggies and pineapple make the sauce even more flavorful. Try this someday and let me know what you think.:)

Rice cake soup called TteokGuk is known as a Korean New Year soup. It is true that Koreans enjoy this delicious rice cake soup on New Year’s Day to celebrate with their family members. However, our family eats this rice cake soup all year long. lol If you make the traditional style of TteokGuk, you have to spend some time to make the beef broth, and then you also need to prepare some toppings such as Jidan (fried egg topping) and roasted dried laver. I will break all the typical rules for this recipe, and make the simplest rice cake soup that you can enjoy. If you follow my quick egg rice cake recipe, then you might think it is as simple as cooking instant noodles. Of course, this is a lot healthier than instant noodles, yet it is still tasty.
