Hi Everyone! Today I will make 2 different flavors of black bean ice-cream using chocolate syrup and Sempio’s drinking vinegar. At first, I was going to make a simple black bean drink like soy milk by grinding cooked black beans and adding milk or water to it. However, with my husband’s suggestion, I added some flavors to it, and at the end, I came up with these delicious homemade bean freezer-pop recipes. With simple steps and cooking skills, you can make this creamy, nutty, sweet, and deliciously flavored ice-cream at home. Try it someday. 🙂

Yield: 12 Popsicles

Sempio Pickles

by Leave a Comment

Today, I will make 2 different kinds of pickles using Sempio’s pickling vinegar. When you make normal pickles at home, normally you boil the brine, pour the hot brine on the vegetables, and then wait at least several days before eating them. Sempio’s pickling vinegar has all the seasonings in it. So, you don’t have to boil a brine – simply pour their brine over the vegetables and it will be ready to eat in a day. The flavor is pretty good too. So when you are in a hurry, this can be a really good shortcut. Try them someday. 🙂

Yield: 2 Jars (Quart each)

GyoChon Chicken

교촌 치킨, GyoChon Chicken

Hi Everyone! Today I will make a delicious chicken dish called “gyochon chicken” or “ganjang chicken” in Korean. Gyochon chicken is a popular Korean restaurant brand. Their specialty is this deep fried chicken covered with a sweet and salty sauce. Many people requested this dish; they particularly mentioned the name “Gyochon chicken.” It was interesting to see that so many people know and love this. To make it a little healthier and easier to make, I baked my chicken instead of deep frying it. The result was just as good. The crispy and chewy chicken, with savory sauce, tastes great. Try it someday. 🙂

Today I will show you how to make heart-shaped hard boiled eggs. Sometime ago, I looked at different kinds of molds for hard boiled eggs. They looked pretty neat and I wondered if there was any way to make different shaped hard boiled eggs without using the molds. This is what I learnt from my search. With a piece of cardboard, a chopstick, and a couple rubber bands, you can make cute heart shaped hard boiled egg at home. I am very excited to share this with you. It can be a cool decoration in salads, lunch boxes, or snack foods for kids. Try it someday. 🙂

Tofu Soybean GukSu

두부 콩국수, DuBu KongGukSu

by Leave a Comment

Last year around this time, I posted a summer noodle dish using soybeans. The recipe was very delicious and refreshing. Today, I will make almost the same dish, but this is a very simple shortcut version. Instead of cooking and blending soybeans, this recipe will blend tofu, some nuts, and milk together. Since tofu is made with soybeans, you will get a similar taste and texture. The nutty, milky soup, along with thin chewy noodles, makes a great dish. It doesn’t take long to make this refreshing summer dish. Try it someday. 🙂

Button Mushroom BokkEum

Today, I will introduce you to a quick and easy side dish using button mushrooms. Mushrooms have a savory flavor and give extra flavoring when used as an ingredient in other dishes. Because of that, mushrooms can make a delicious dish without many additional seasonings. They can also be used for making good broth. I like many different kinds of mushrooms. The mushroom flavor in this dish, along with the garlic and hot pepper, tastes very good. Try it someday. 🙂
